Growth is weird, awkward, uncomfortable, and incredible all at the same time.
The most important thing I’ve observed throughout traveling is my change in perception. A few posts ago, I mentioned struggling to identify with in the Islamic society. I asked, “Was there room for diversity?”
After hanging out with a group of friends I’ve made here in Meknes, I’ve realized that this was in my control. In order to feel this sense of belonging that I thought I was missing… it was entirely up to me. I separated myself from many people around me unintentionally as if we didn’t share as many things as we do.
- How we worship
- How we communicate with one another
- How we help one another
- How we love
- How we express ourselves
- How we innovate
- How we explore
- How we celebrate
- How we govern
- How we respect another individual
As an international student recognizing the universality of a global culture, I’m happy to see our similarities and respect our differences.
They say studying abroad changes your life, but it changes who you are.
