Key Reflections:

What have been the most significant challenges and rewards of living in a new country, and how have they impacted your personal growth and development?
How can I strike a balance between my academic pursuits and social activities, and how do these different aspects of my life contribute to my overall well-being and personal growth?
Why have my self-imposed limitations influenced my past decisions and actions, and how can I use this to set ambitious goals and develop a plan to overcome or work beyond these limitations in the future?
