Build up your future!
As an educator, I would like to write about the importance of having education abroad and living abroad for a while. For many of us, it might be too hard to leave our comfort zone and go on an education adventure, but it really is crucial for our future. As a person who has been an Erasmus student and European Voluntary Service program volunteer, I feel that I have many things to share with people who are chasing similar dreams and missions with me.
By the way, to have education or live abroad, you must be brave to take the risks in your life. You never know what might happen in your life, so there is no need to worry. If something is meant to happen, it will surely happen. When I check my students' profiles who are currently in my language school, I see that there is a big lack of self-confidence in their characteristics and they are also unaware of the world as they are always with their bodies, chained by their parents in a way.
Experiences
Experiences that we get through education life abroad will bring you many different aspects to think of the things in your life in many different ways. If you ask me how these things are going to happen, there are some simply ways that I can use to show you. First of all, when you are studying in your own city or country, there are usually lack of foreign teachers in schools which can give you a different point of view about your department, you always listen to your native teachers, so that doesn't make a huge difference in your life.
When you are in a new country for education, teachers in those countries show you the other side of the glass that is not possible to see in your own country. There are also many students who are from different countries while you are studying in your new country. Cultural exchanges and interactions can help you to improve yourself a lot. What you learn from all these experiences surely help you in your working career or daily life when you are done with your education.
A new culture
Having education in a new country will also help you to learn at least 2 new languages. As English is international language and considered as the main language in many schools around the world, you will surely have to learn it. In addition to it, If you are having your education in a country where other languages are spoken, you will also need to learn it to at least continue your daily life. That is a big plus for your future.
When we look at the countries where there is huge unemployment and limited job opportunities, we can easily observe that companies are looking for people who can speak at least 2 languages with abroad experience. Can you imagine yourself studying maybe engineering in Germany and going back to your country when you can speak both German and English? You will surely find the job you wish easily. You will be the one who chooses the job, not the company that chooses you!
Role model
If you experience education abroad and for example you are a teacher, you will surely transfer your knowledge and experiences to your students who might have the dreams that you are telling. Thanks to people like you, they will have more courageous as they can see that some people can do it so they can also do it. There is nothing to block them on their way. Don't forget that you can be someone's reason to smile at future more confidently.
Having education abroad will also help you to improve your personality and make yourself more mature person. I can see many people struggling as they are far away from their parents even in their 30's. If you study abroad at an earlier age, you will get over this problem much earlier than expected. We can't live with our families at the same house for ages. In one point, we have to break the bounds with them and follow our own way!
Final note by a teacher
As I mentioned before, I have been a volunteer and an Erasmus student. Thanks to these experiences, I can manage to have a better life and inspire my students to go on similar adventures in the future. That is my life mission to lead young people on the same path that I am following. If you have any thought about education abroad and the experiences that we get through them, you are welcome to share so we can talk more. Thanks for reading and steem on!
