After entering school at the age of seven, I had two cycles of development and growth which where quite different from each other, both lasted nine years.
Until I was 16, I spent my life in Germany with my family and with regular school and hobbies. I faced challenges you have to face as a child of a single mom and as the stranger to a new city or school.
After I turned 16, I moved to Denmark, to finish my education and grow up. I truly became an independend individual and have learned to tackle different challenges as they come.
Now I am 25, have moved back to Germany and am both terrified and looking forward to the next nine years. This is the time where I will establish myself not only in terms of education, but mostly in terms of experience.
I have started to conquer monstrous Berlin, which tried to let me down several times but which I forced to work out for me, because Berlin was my only option for Germany. I am beginning to see some paths that I am happy to take and there is finally a goal to invest time in. My current achievements and achievements to come look like this:
Done:
- Find a traineeship
- Find an apartment
- Find a roommate
- Find new and exciting things you ONLY to do in Berlin
To do:
- Figure out my next steps after the traineeship
- Order Internet access for my apartment (finally I can use Skype again!!)
- Finish beautifying the apartment
- Find a choir to join
- Find a gym or yoga class
I am quite happy that my to do list is longer than my done list. I am tired from the past months of discovery and fighting, but I know it’s worth it. What about you? Have you encountered a shift in your life in the recent past and how did you tackle it?
