she strives to do it all
Remembering when I packed up and left my home country for the first time some years ago, there was no room for hesitation. Landed on a foreign land with just an hour flight away, I thought adaptation was going to be a soft ironing process. Having said that, it was not as straightforward in keeping…
Sunny sky as soon as nine. Without alarm eyes opened wide. Reflecting what’s left to realise. Didn’t take long to heighten the mind. List is long out of aspirations.

Reflecting the rocky roads over the past two years, it was a big piece of work. Maybe everyone had similar results, moderate ratings and average feedback. Still, she believed she delivered…
