Sandesh Adhikari
Northwest Missouri State University Everything happens for a reason. I left my home (Nepal) on 20th of August 2018 for International Education. It was not easy to leave home, family after living there for long 18 years. However, I knew it was happening for a reason. That was I stepping out of my comfort zone for one of the very few times in my life. I am currently studying Bachelors in Psychology in Northwest Missouri State University. There was a big shift in my career once I came to the United States. I always wanted to be inside my comfort zone and that was not doing any good for me. I came to the United States to pursue my career in the field of Computer Science. It is more like a trend in Nepal that once you graduate from the high school; you pursue your field in the field of technology. I was not sure what I wanted to do in future. Therefore, I just followed the so-called trend and decided to pursue my Bachelors in Computer Science in Northwest Missouri State University. I did not want to be myself until then. I was like I would get a job after graduating and make my living with the money and working for what I was not sure about.
Not everything was so easy at the beginning for me, everything were different here in the United States, people, culture …show more content…

International exposure is must for every students. It helps to give the knowledge about the other part of the world. It made me realize my value, norms. My decision-making skills was tested and I did very well to pass that test. It made me realize that everything in life happens for a

I expected to have a great 4 years of high school where I was entered in a program focused on academic subjects that I enjoy and excel in. While I may have liked the prospects of my potential destination, my parents decided that it was time for my family to move a distant 20 minutes away from the only place that I had ever lived. The whole idea of moving blindsided me. My only true knowledge of how life changing moving could be was seeing other people come and go in my school district for nine years.
