It may sounds silly, but I've always heard people saying that we can have anything we really want to, anything we put an effort to get it. The first time I tried to get something that people thought impossible I really believed that I could get it and I got it!
Some years ago, my dream was to work at DisneyWorld. I needed to do some interviews and pay for the flight ticket and a lot of fees and taxes. It wasn't easy but I got it. I did an International College Program and worked and lived there for three months. Many people didn't believe that I could do this just by myself because I've always been very close to my family and shy. However it was easy, the best three months ever!
The same happened some months ago. I wanted to improve my English, so I decided to travel to study it in a English speaking country. I chose to come to Australia to stay for six months. My family and friends didn't believed again that I could do it just because I'm still very shy and they think I can't handle things by myself. And here I am! Three months later I think I'm doing pretty well. I'm studying and working, of course my father is helping me with some bills, but a part from that I do everything just by myself. I live with four korean people which makes everything a little more difficult since we have very different cultures, but I learn a lot with them, now I can realize how different people are, how cultures can be so different from each other...
I still have more three months here in Australia and maybe I will extend my Visa, I feel I still can learn lots of things and since I am on the other side of the world why not enjoy it as much as I can?
If I see it will be very important to me I am absolutely sure that I can do it!
