For the longest time, my ultimate aspiration was to secure a stable position on a stage, ideally right after graduation, in order to sidestep the anxiety that accompanies the search for an entry-level graphic designer role. However, as I delve deeper into self-discovery and embrace authenticity, I’ve come to understand that I must confront my fear of failure. I’ve consistently demonstrated resilience and a knack for excelling in any endeavor I undertake. With this newfound clarity, I’ve made the decision to embark on a transformative journey to Spain, commencing in September 2024 and concluding in February 2025, following my graduation. My primary objective during this period is to immerse myself in the Spanish language and culture through intensive courses while residing with a local host family.
My adventure will commence with a three-month stay in the enchanting city of Malaga, where I will be absorbed in the language and lifestyle. Subsequently, I will relocate to the vibrant metropolis of Barcelona to conclude my studies. I am confident that it will not only serve as a platform for my personal and professional development but also allow me to further hone my concert photography skills as I explore Spain’s dynamic music scene. If circumstances permit, I may even undertake graphic design contracts along the way.
The prospect of this journey is undeniably daunting, as it ventures beyond my comfort zone, yet I firmly believe that stepping into the unknown is essential for personal growth. This is a profound opportunity that instills both excitement and trepidation within me.
In the face of uncertainty, I have chosen to embrace this challenge wholeheartedly, confident that it will catalyze tremendous personal and professional development. While the road ahead may be fraught with uncertainty, I am determined to confront it head-on, equipped with the knowledge that this transformative experience will shape me into a more resilient, culturally enriched, and linguistically adept individual. Upon my return, I anticipate looking back on this decision with eternal gratitude for the profound impact it will have on my life.
