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 improve yourself even without you realising it. My project was where I need to teach high school kids to develop their soft skills, and eventually I found my soft skills improved too. Having the chance to work with people from other country was a really good experience. Different people from different country have a different kind of thinking, so you can learn from them and so do they. Lastly, people tend to stereotype a lot. Even I did 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 tell that they're very nice and very warm. I could say one of my best friends while in Turkey is from Mexico. If I have the chance to go abroad again under AIESEC capacity, I'll definitely go again. And I will, surely promote this to my friends and relatives and tell them how this program has made an impact in my life.
