Interviewer: Nina “

Even though I felt a bit unsure at first and not knowing what would happen in the future, it was kind of like an adventure. When I first arrived in Thailand, I always had thoughts like “When I come, will I be able to find a job?”, “How long will it take me to find a job?”, or “What will my life be like here?”. These were all uncertain. So, when I came, it was like gambling, not knowing what’s going to happen in the future, like a 50/50 percent chance. There were many things that I struggled with at first. I went through many struggles with the language barrier. Since I didn’t know how to speak Thai, I struggled to communicate. Now that I think about it, I should have done a lot of homework before coming to Thailand. I should have taught myself how to understand Thai students’ characteristics. I should have also taught myself to not try too quickly to adapt into the environment and that I should take it slow. But, even when I went through a lot of challenges and struggles, I had no regrets, none at all. Moving to Thailand is the best decision that I’ve ever made.”
