Being away from home is not easy especially when you're going abroad alone.But being able to go far from your comfort zone surely helps you to improveyourself even without you realising it.My project was where I need to teach high school kids to develop their softskills, and eventually I found my soft skills improved too. Having the chance towork with people from other country was a really good experience. Differentpeople from different country have a different kind of thinking, so you canlearn from them and so do they. Lastly, people tend to stereotype a lot. Even Idid it before I went abroad. I always thought, Mexicans were very aggressive,their country was full of mafias, drugs cartels but when I met them, I could tellthat they're very nice and very warm. I could say one of my best friends whilein Turkey is from Mexico.If I have the chance to go abroad again under AIESEC capacity, I'll definitely goagain. And I will, surely promote this to my friends and relatives and tell themhow this program has made an impact in my life.
