Being surrounded by people from different parts of the globe expressing different cultures and talking different languages reminded me that it is okay to be different. At the same time, studying with classmates, who, more or less, were facing the same challenges as me, reminded me that I wasn’t alone. My favorite memory is probably walking into Ulpan class in the mornings in my first semester, being met by a teacher who was more excited to teach than I would be to go skydiving. It was inspiring to see and fun to be part of!
