I wanted to know myself, my strengths, and interests better before choosing a career. I took part in the ‘ELA: Empowerment through learning and working abroad’ programme, which gave me the opportunity to do an internship abroad and try out a new work environment. My course helped me consolidate my professional skills but more than that, I got to know myself and understand how to cope with change. I learnt what I want from life and what my goals are. It’s important to try new things and be open to change. Change is a natural and beautiful part of life – embrace it. |
