Get to know yourself: Studying in Ukraine was an incredibly important semester for me. Being away for that long from your comfort zone forces you to analyze yourself, which can be really difficult but you come out a better person. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t say the same; it’s a huge opportunity for personal growth and development. For me personally, studying abroad in Paris allowed me to glimpse the kind of future I might want to lead. I’m a more independent and stronger person for the experience.
