I am a 20 years old student at the University of Toronto. Living away from home teaches you lessons you can’t learn by staying in your comfort zone. That is exactly what happened to me. At 15 years old, I made the decision to leave my home and study abroad. My parents have been always supporting me and this time wasn’t an exception. The last 4 years have been tough for me in many ways and at the same time wonderful, full of new acquaintances, excitement, knowledge and valuable experience. This experience gave me the ability to write this book.
