The stunning results our customers have experienced
There were definitely many obstacles along the way but I have never felt so much in my life before. I received so much warmth and love from my host parents and siblings. They made it a must to let me try every single Polish dish, and visit castles and secret getaway places while they listened intently whenever I shared stories of myself. I taught English and did culture sharing at three schools, which were all different in so many ways. In some, I was conducting English practice sessions, while in others the school wanted to emphasize the exchange of culture. I noticed many variations in kids from diverse backgrounds, but one common thing was the desire to always come and talk to us, hug us and also have meals with us at school. Never would I have imagined myself singing over the school sound broadcast system every morning for the kids or having a sleepover at school with kids and other volunteers whilst watching Euro 2016!

Be confident. Do not let fear discourage you from achieving what you have always wanted to do. I have always wondered how it feels like to be a teacher.As such, I decided to take on this 6 weeks long AIESEC education volunteering programme to Chiayi, Taiwan. And I enjoyed every single moment. From the planning of interesting teaching materials to the execution of delivering a full English lesson. For an introvert, this has been a challenging task with many obstacles, but the passion for making a difference through teaching allows me to conquer my fears. The most valuable lesson that I learnt: Confidence comes from not fearing to always be right but from not fearing to be wrong. wrong. Learn to be bold in the face of uncertainty and you will realise that learning has no boundaries. Leadership development is a continuous process.
