Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain
My journey started 3 years ago, when I have decided to enter the vast
world of business schools. I was born in a small town near Milan, but since I
was a child that small world wasn’t enough for me. I wanted more; I wanted to
dream, to discover new things, to break away. I tried to get ahead with a
swimming career, but the more I reached the more I wanted. The more my mind opened, the more space to
fill in with new experiences there was. That is how I learned the discipline,
the determination and the passion for what I am doing. Only with passion the
greatest results are possible, and that’s why I think this is the most
important quality to achieve. Thanks to the passion I had developed, I opened
my way one centimeter at the time and I finally ended up here, in Copenhagen
1430km from home, 143,000,000cm. In 2009 I got into one of the most prestigious
Business school in the world, . For the first time in my life
my desire of knowledge and my curiosity were shared with other people, the
others around me accepted my determination and competitiveness. I felt home for the first time. Unfortunately that
home was still too small. After my exchangein Sweden I
decided to continue my studies with a Master program abroad. I wanted something more from life. I took the risk, I step ahead
and I left the “ safe harbor”, the” safe havn”, coming here in Kobenhavn.
I don’t take
anything that I had for granted; I know that the opportunities I have been
given are a dream came true and I will never stop thanking my parents and
everyone who believed in to make this dream possible. Now I have the
possibility to take my dream one step ahead, 15,613km from home. On day I
received an e-mail , saying I had been selected among a thousand of
students for one of the top southern hemisphere University, in Perth. At first my mind
was full of excitement, joy, and a glimpse of fear, this country is really far
away, far from that safe harbor. When I suddenly realized it was Australia what
they were talking about every fear was gone. Since my childhood I have always
dreamt about that mystic country, I spent hours in the local zoo just to see kangaroos
and koalas. At some mysterious level this was an opportunity I have always
wanted to have.
Australia’s
national culture is mainly found on sports, Australian football in particular.
Life, like football it’s all about centimeters, one step in the wrong place and
everything you have work for years can be over. However, it wouldn’t worth living,
or playing if you didn’t want to take the chance to step ahead again, to walk
that 1,561,300,000cm. Therefore I am ready to fight for every centimeters that
separates me from my dream, because I know that when I’ll add them up, that will
make the difference. Consequently everyone who has made any sacrifice for me, my
parents, my boyfriend, myself, finally will be rewarded.
