Moving to a new country can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for anyone, and I am no exception to that. When one understands and accepts the blessing that comes from such an experience, they are left with a kind of personal diversity, and interpersonal relatability that can be their greatest asset - and that has been my story. Having been born in India, and living the first 12 years of my life there, I am firmly grounded in my cultural roots. The India within me inspires my love for colors and not fear them, and unique ideas that the west may not have seen. Leaving your world at such a young age and having to reshape everything you once knew builds resilience, grit, and a resultant confidence that is difficult to shake - and that has been the blessing of the America in me. While the first round of rediscovering myself came as an accident and had nothing to do with personal action, every next round hence has been a deliberate decision to be more marinated in this superpower. Moving to NYC to attend my dream school, studying abroad in Italy, then India again for a few months has all been a challenging experience for the rather introverted me, but also an infinitely rewarding experience for the side of me that knows how conducive to growth it can be to live outside your comfort zone. Like I said, this superpower of having these different worlds within me has been my greatest asset, and has left me with an insatiable hunger to see as much as possible of what the world has to offer.
