So what have I really learnt from this life changing CEED experience?

Before I believed that Canada was the only home I had in the world.
Before I thought I knew what I wanted with my life.
Before, I believed that I would know all the people in canada all my life.
Before, I never really believed in myself.

so whats up now?
I'm going back to a place that I value but I realize that Canada is not the only home I have. Home is where I am. Home is where I make it.
When you leave a place, relationships change. People change. I'm starting to think that that the only person that will be with you throughout your whole life is you. Your you're only best friend. There's so many people in the world...so many all over the world that you'll know some more than others. You'll be able to see some more than others. But, some will pass. And some will reach inside and touch your heart and you'll stay in touch with them. You wont know everyone forever...

I havent been in touch with very many people form canada...six people....
Before I was scared to go back to my country....but im not expecting for people to open me with open arms..nor am I expecting people to listen to my stories....I am not expecting the world to stop for me
because I know it wont
I'm expecting that I'm going ot hvae to strong...stronger than ever..to adapt to the fact that Canada is not home for me..
But I will laugh. And I will cry. But one things for sure: I want this semister to feel like the worst and best of my life
i would have made a difference...

Baroda has showed me that time or space or cultural differences are not barriers for accomplishment
the main barrier for accomplishment is yourself as every other barrier can be overcome...

so...I've changed quite a bit
and its going to be challenging to go back to a place that does not feel like home
a place that i'm not connected to
a place that seems like a series of buildings..people...
my heart isnt there....

but my heart was once in canada..and its has transformed
through patience and persistence that transformation will happen again

Also I've learnt that with eerything in life you must know why your doing it
thats what went wrong with you can..i didnt know why I was doing it so I couldnt create my role
you have to create your own role
you have to create your own purpose
your own vision
because chances are people arent going to create it for you
the question is why are you doing what your doing?
