Fitting In vs Embracing

International Students: please don’t force yourselves to fit into a new culture.

Experience it. Enjoy it. Make the most out of it.

But NEVER think of your differences as limitations.

Why?

Because your accent, sense of humor, and fresh perspectives are your superpowers.

Take this from someone who made the same mistake for years — only to realize that it brings nothing but confusion.

You already:

— Had the guts to move to a new country.
— Left everything behind.
— Left everyone behind...

... just make sure to bring yourself along too.
