County Dublin, Ireland

In pursuit of developing an international law career, I challenged myself and decided to move abroad in order to learn English. It was the first time I had left home and travelled abroad. I do not come from a wealthy family and did not have the opportunity to do it earlier in my career. However, as a determined and motivated person, I planned to take this step in my life and I am glad I have done it. In Ireland, I would daily attend an English course in the morning and take care of children for the rest of the day. This was enough to keep me financially supported during my time there. It was an incredible experience not only for my language skills, but also for international cultural awareness. Moreover, I had the opportunity to travel to several countries, when I was exposed to different languages and cultural backgrounds. In the end, I was able to sit for the official Cambridge language assessment and got its certificate - CAE (advanced level of English) -, which was later useful to apply for a Master course abroad.Skills: commitment to continuous learning; creativity; planning & organizing; respect for diversity
