Faiz Ubaidillah-AFS INA to Belgium YP 21/22

It’s been a few months since I got here and I would say this is one of the best things that happened to me, in fact it feels like I’m having another life almost like a second life. It’s thrilling and scares me at first but once I get with the flow I feel like I’m floating. Tons of new experiences I’ve gathered since I got here and the most important thing that I realized about this program is that this program makes you improve yourself.

I feel like a new person that I have never seen before. I became more curious, disciplined, and had more humility. It opens my mind so much that it baffles me on how vast things are actually happening on the other side of the world. Things are so much different than back home, the biggest difference is more on the ideology and the people itself. There’s a lot of things that I’m against but it made me realize how important it is to see things from another view.

This story is happening because of the courage that this program gives me. It pushes me to live in a whole new place, a whole new friends, and a whole new family. What I want you guys the reader to take from this story is if you get an opportunity in life to be better then take it, you’ll never know how far it will get you and your future self with thank you for it. Your life is always going to be different just one choice away, so either now or never.

Your mind will work against your will to change and that is fine, you have to fight it. It’s not an easy fight but you have to take it. You have to take control of your life.

Do the hard work especially when you don’t feel like it!
