I won’t talk about a time when I was waiting something special for me, which was the start of my Erasmus Exchange program in Germany. Honestly, it was one of the most exciting periods of my life because I had always been dreaming about studying abroad for many years. And I remember the day before my flight, clearly. I was counting hours imagining what my new life would look like, and the cities, the people I would meet, and also the experience I would have. And I felt a mix of emotion, like excitement, nervousness, happiness, and even a bit of fear, because it was the first time living alone in another city. and then the day of flight finally came I was extremely happy I remember sitting in the plane and looking out of the video out of the windows and thinking oh my god this is really happening and this moment is very very special to me because this experience changed me as a person and helped me grow more independent and confident and my erasmus experience turned out to be even better than I expected because sometimes waiting makes moments even more special and this experience also taught me that and and Spatient makes the moment more meaningful. And if you want something, and if waiting for something special that you really want, like my Erasmus Exchange, and the final moments make, became more unforgettable. And I also want to add that why I waited this experience for many years, because when I was a child, when I was around 5 years old, if I am not mistaken, I always imagined living in a Germany. And this, as I said, this is always my dream. And I’m so lucky that I had a chance to experience…

I want to talk about a time when I was waiting for something special for me, which was the start of my Erasmus Exchange program in Germany. Honestly, it was one of the most exciting periods of my life because I had always been dreaming about studying abroad for many years. I remember the day before my flight clearly. I was counting hours, imagining what my new life would look like, the cities, the people I would meet, and also the experiences I would have. I felt a mix of emotions, like excitement, nervousness, happiness, and even a bit of fear, because it was the first time living alone in another city. Then the day of the flight finally came. I was extremely happy. I remember sitting on the plane, looking out of the window, and thinking, 'Oh my god, this is really happening.' This moment is very special to me because this experience changed me as a person and helped me grow more independent and confident. My Erasmus experience turned out to be even better than I expected because sometimes waiting makes moments even more special. This experience also taught me that patience makes the moment more meaningful. If you want something, and if you are waiting for something special that you really want, like my Erasmus Exchange, the final moments become more unforgettable. I also want to add why I waited for this experience for many years. When I was a child, around 5 years old, if I am not mistaken, I always imagined living in Germany. As I said, this has always been my dream, and I'm so lucky that I had a chance to experience it.
