ON THE PM'S NATO COMMENT

Marisha Mikiashvili - Young Ambassador of Georgia to The Netherlands

BY MARIAM GORKHELASHVILI

Marisha Mikiashvili, a student at Leiden University in The Hague, is a clear example of the fact that if you want something bad enough, there’s no reason you can’t get it. After finishing school, she decided to continue her studies at a European university, seeking new challenges and to get to know a foreign culture. She was offered funding by leading universities in Spain, France and Italy, although her main target was the Netherlands.

"When I sent the application to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I didn’t think I’d get through, because it was very difficult to get into my program and to beat the competition,” she tells us. “When I heard I’d got into the international relations program, I was overjoyed. I finally decided to continue my studies in The Hague."

It was not easy to go it alone in a foreign country, in a strage environment, but she says she aims never to miss an opportunity.
