to be creative show why Taiwan and austria is good for me

Thus, if I have the opportunity to study both in Taiwan and Austria, I will be facing a challenge that I have never experienced. To live in a place where mundane obstacles are being aggravated by the language barrier. I am looking forward to that challenge because I believe that this experience can help me build character by encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. The reason being is that daily chores can turn into life lessons by the challenge of living in cities where I do not speak the native language.

    The reason that I want to attend Machik Weekend is because when I grow older, I aspire to work for the Tibetans inside Tibet, and to give back to the community that has helped me developed my own identity as a Tibetan. Although I am far away from my country, distance shouldn’t be a barrier because there is so much that can be done. Machik’s cause immediately struck an inner chord in my heart and reminded me of the detailed stories that my late Grandpa and Grandma had told me from their experiences in Tibet.
