This weekend I had my AFS delayed orientation somewhere in Pahang. It was a resort in the middle of the wilderness/jungle and it was honestly one of my best weekends thus far in Malaysia. Not only was the view spectacular and beautiful but the people I spent it with made it worth so much more. It was a weekend full of fun, bonding, learning, and sharing about our experiences in the two and a half months we have been in Malaysia. We all talked about our experiences with our host families, host schools, host communities and how we've dealt with the hurdles we have crossed.
I honestly feel at home in Malaysia now. It is really crazy fast time goes. I have two new families- my host family and my fellow exchange students. Both of them provide different types of support and fun. Both of them are awesome, and I cannot imagine not knowing them. Both of them provide different types of support- but in the end support is support.
And the most important thing I learned this weekend?
Do not compare your experiences with anyone else. It does not help anyone, it just leaves you feeling like you are not doing enough. But always remember that different people have different lives. Enjoy your year as you, not as someone else.
