Living away from country can be a really interesting and unforgetable experience, but at the same time it has very important effects on one's life.
The major effects, and also a common one, is that a once you start a regular life away from home, You miss everything.This fact, dosen't mean that you are unhappy but that you are aware of being on your own. Mssing your family and the attention they all paid to you is a very usual thing to do. Little ditails like thing on a sunday morning watching TV alone instead of helping your dad organizing his things or having a nice chat with your mom makes you relize how valuble your family really is. It is also completley acceptable to missing all the facilities you used to have back at home, like your house, your car, your bed and your bathroom. It's ovious then that you have started to appreciate everything you had back where you belong.
The second main effect would be learning how to eccept another type of society and culture into your daily life. Since you are living in a place with different customs and traditions from yours. You have to abble to devlop yourself in unknown conditions. This means making new frirnds learning other points of view, accepting different opinions and valies, and sizing every opurtunity you have to go to new places. Therefore, you will be able to achieve true knowledge. Suggestingto change your mind totally or to be square minded would be foolish. The best best thing to do would be to stick to your most important values and according to them, change those that you believe could be impproved.
The most significant effects of living away from home is the independent behavior that grows inside of you. Living in your own far from your family gives you lots of experience toward organizing your life. Since it is up to you and no one else to go to school, clean your room, wash you cloths and organize your expenses. It is predictable that you will have a good and trong meangs of responsibality. Being independent and responsible will halp you get through life every goal you want to achieve.
