The journey of my semester abroad at Indiana University, Kelley School of Business, has been transformative and profoundly humbling. It's difficult to encapsulate in words the depth of what I've experienced, but it has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on my life.
Throughout this adventure, I've acquired invaluable life skills and have also forged genuine connections that I believe will endure the test of time. The opportunity for self-discovery was abundant, allowing me to delve into the depths of my being and foster independent thought.
Stepping out of my comfort zone, which had been my sanctuary for so long, was daunting and exhilarating. However, through this experience, I unearthed layers of resilience and adaptability within myself.
Academically, the rigorous curriculum at the Kelley School of Business challenged me to think critically and approach problems from diverse perspectives. Engaging with professors and fellow students in a global setting broadened my understanding of business concepts and practices, offering insights that go beyond geographical boundaries. The collaborative learning environment fostered innovative thinking and encouraged me to push beyond my limits. Through group projects, case studies, and interactive lectures, I deepened my knowledge of business principles and honed my communication and teamwork skills. This academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation that I am eager to apply in my future endeavors, both professionally and personally.
I extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey. Your support has been invaluable, and I am forever grateful for the role you've played in shaping my experience:
Navigating a new environment comes with its challenges, but the rewards are immeasurable. I've grown exponentially, not just academically, but as a person. And for that, I am immensely grateful. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support and guidance I received from the Faculty and the Office of International Relations managing the Student Exchange Program at FLAME University and the Indiana University, Bloomington, Kelley School of Business. Their encouragement propelled me forward at every stage.
The steadfast support of my friends and family has been the cornerstone of my journey. Their belief in me has bolstered my confidence and instilled in me a sense of purpose that will continue to shape my trajectory as I grow into the person I aspire to be.
In sharing my experiences, I hope to pay homage to the profound impact this journey has had on me and extend a hand of guidance to those who follow in my footsteps. As I settle back into life at FLAME, I am eager to share my insights and offer assistance to fellow students embarking on their study-abroad program.
