Being an exchange student does not only mean to travel to another country so you can make wonderful friends, go shopping, and have the time of your life. Of course you will have the time of your life but not because of enjoying the superficial things that fulfill your expectations, but because of the realization of how worth it was all the pain and struggle you had to go through to actually appreciate the true meaning of happiness. The best things in life are the hardest ones to accomplish because effort has a price and there is nothing more exquisite than the feeling of satisfaction after you have overcome your greatest challenges or fears. This experience made me realize that the little details of your daily life are actually big things that will teach you to value them during their harsh absence. This adventure thought me more than anything that I could have ever learned in school, because life experiences will grant you an unimaginable understanding of the world that is way more enriching than any other kind of education.
I can say that one of the hardest challenges I had was coexisting with the girl I used to live with, even if she hurt me I am thankful that I had the chance to live my dream by her side, because without her I wouldn't have learned to be so strong and grow the amazing ability of the force will. She thought me that replying to her attitude with kindness was the best response, and each time, she made me value a little bit more the presence of those who made me smile a little brighter that were currently absent. Changing is not easy and understanding that what is different from us is not bad or wrong, surely is not easy thing to do too, but accepting that realization is fundamental for living each moment to the fullest. I was very shy and uncertain while I was trying to accustom to the changes in my life, but then, when I finally got out of my cage, I was taught to see the world from a different perspective and open my mind to different situations of life. Other of the hardest parts was leaving behind all the strangers I had grown to love during my 6 months experience. The day I first got to St. Mark I knew My experience was only going to be momentary, a long the way, I was still trying to convince my self that someday it was all going to end and I would have to go back to Colombia, my flight home seemed so far away, but I would have never expected that saying goodbye could be so heartbreaking, I never thought that missing somebody could hurt so much.
This adventure was the hardest lesson I learned in the 2014, and it was definitely the hardest lesson I have ever learned in my whole life. I think is very important to appreciate the teachings of life in every step of the journey, each one are valuable teachings that can only be gained by experiences. They hold a very meaningful treasure and the realization of them makes your personal understanding of your inner soul and your future person deeper. I fondly believe that learning is a spectacular gift that should be always taken advantage of. This trip is a step to maturity that connects you with your inner self and ables you to clarify your goals, finding within you the strength to become anything you want to be. You know what maturing is when you realize that no matter how big material things are, a simple letter, a hug, or a smile will always be able to cause you an unexplainable joy that material things will never be able to cause. Finally, I completely recommend every single person to be an exchange student, we can always use a little change in our life.
