Living and studying in Edinburgh allowed me to grow tremendously as I began to establish myself in a new environment. The exposure to new people, new accents, customs, lifestyles, and a new educational system offered me a novel perspective on the world community, and a unique opportunity to grow as an individual.
I found that although two people may come from completely different countries, have two completely different backgrounds, and hold very different values, they can still come together on a common ground as students and individuals, and appreciate the diversity and richness of the Earth.
