End of a journey

I have now come to the end of this experience and the time has come to evaluate these wonderful two months. I arrived in Ankara with no expectations, only with a great desire to do and to put myself out there, and I am taking home amazing memories. I went from feeling totally lost, in a place where I did not know the language or the customs to feeling extremely comfortable living here, as I know how to navigate through the necessities of daily life, how to have basic conversations with people, how to act properly. I went from having no idea how to behave around children to finding out that I am totally comfortable and happy spending time and organizing activities with them. I also become more outspoken and willing to leadership positions. 

 

I am definitely leaving Ankara as a more confident and passionat umanitarian e woman, fearless, and, most importantly, with a renewed desire to work in the field. For sure, the month’s highlight was the interview we recorded on Turkish radio, where we were interviewed about our experience here in Turkey in the European Solidarity Corps. It was a special moment, where we recalled the most beautiful moments of this experience and where we realized, that this journey has sadly come to an end. It was such a special moment,

where I felt closer than ever to my team, and where I discovered a new passion of mine that I will bring back home, and hopefully transform into something concrete: the experience at the radio made me find out how much I love that kind of field and, hence, I would like to have a podcast of my own.I would like to conclude with an invitation to future volunteers: don’t think twice and apply!

 

Do not be afraid of new challenges, because at the end of the road is all worth it! Be bold, beactive, and don’t be afraid to follow your passions! Be kind, and generous to each other and our planet: we are a generation that can change things for the better, and shape a better future.You never know what your help can mean for someone else and, besides, it is an occasion to gain new skills and to grow into a better person.
