How
do you know what is a dream if you never accomplished one. How do you
know what is an adventure if you never took part in one. How do you know
what is anguish if you never said goodbye to your family and friends
with your eyes full of tears. How do you know what is being desperate,
if you never arrived in a place alone and could not understand a word of
what everyone ...else was saying. How do you know what is diversity if
you never lived under the same roof with people from all over the world?
How do you know what is tolerance, if you never had to get used to
something different even if you didn’t like it. How do you know what is
autonomy, if you never had the chance to decide something by yourself?
How do you know what it means to grow up, if you never stopped being a
child to start a new course? How do you
know what is to be helpless, if you never wanted to hug someone and had a
computer screen to prevent you from doing it. How do you know what is
distance, if you never, looking at a map, said “ I am so far away”. How
do you know what is a language, if you never had to learn one to make
friends. How do you know what is patriotism, if you never shouted “ I
love my country” holding a flag in your hands. How do you know what is
the true reality, if you never had the chance to see a lot of them to
make one. How do you know what is an opportunity, if you never caught
one. How do you know what is pride, if you never experienced it for
yourself at realizing how much you have accomplished. How do you know
what is to seize the day, if you never saw the time running so fast. How
do you know what is a friend, if the circumstances never showed you the
true ones. How do you know what is a family, if you never had one that
supported you unconditionally . How do you know what are borders, if you
never crossed yours , to see what there was on the other side. How do
you know what is imagination, if you never thought about the moment when
you would go back home. How do you know the world, if you have never
been an exchange student?
