Have you ever been admired for something? I bet yes! Isn’t it a nice feeling? It’s like appreciation of us, our actions, behaviors, attitudes, decisions, successes etc Everyone likes to be praised.
It happened to me a few times too. Local people sometimes admire me. The same with some people back in Poland. They often say that I was so brave to suspend my studies for one year and just come to a country that has not much to do with Poland and that is usually not a destination for Polish people at any age (except traveling). I came here to work for an NGO that even doesn’t pay me much. I came to a different culture. A culture that is not understood very well or at all in my home country. I am perceived as independent and courageous. Until some point, I had never thought about that in this way. After all, I had been hanging out here with the foreigners or AIESEC people to whom such internationals are not unfamiliar. I was not very exceptional.
Probably, I will be able to write more about it when I’m back in Poland and when I interact with people for whom my experience will be unusual. It’s kind of interesting and I'm looking forward to that.
