Celebrating 6 months

---

I left home to begin this new journey, 6 months ago today, I cannot believe I'm half way through my first year already. Time truly flies by when your having fun and boy am I having fun. I'm extremely proud of myself and the way I have dealt with everything that has been thrown my way, I've already been thrown some obstacles and I'm proud for the way I faced them. I'm very content and happy with the person I have become and I thrive everyday to be the best possible version of myself.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for this experience and for the programme cultural care, it's been truly life changing and like I said it's only been 6 months. The programme has not only been fun and games it's been the journey of a lifetime. It's been a real eye opener and made me see life in a while different perspective, it's given me the courage to do things that I never thought I would. This experience has moulded and shaped me into a person I could only dream of becoming.

I've changed so much and its only been 6 months, I'm more confident, I'm stronger, I'm braver and I believe now that anything is possible, I can achieve anything that I want in life. It's given me a strength I didn't know I had and a confidence that I never thought I would. I'm the strong and independent woman I always wanted to be.

It's safe to say I love the life I live and I'm extremely grateful that I get to live it, I've been blessed with an amazing host family who have made me feel like one of their own. They welcomed me into their home with open arms and made me feel like I belong. I've already seen and experienced so many amazing things and I can't believe that I get to live this life.

6 months ago if you'd have told me that I would be loving my life as much as I am, I wouldn't of believed you. I knew how amazing this was going to be but I didn't know how life changing it would actually be. It's funny I can't imagine my life being any other way.
