The most important thing that I have to say about participating in this project is that I learned how to be free. Before going to Murzasichle I was really afraid and even doubted if I should go or stay home (because of the current situation of the coronavirus). Also, I had to go with my friend, but suddenly she told me that she doesn’t want to go and that was my biggest apprehension that I will have to go alone, not knowing anybody. For me, it was really scary and I started to get worried because I thought that I am not brave enough to go alone somewhere.
Even if it was my third project, that was my first time going alone, without my friends. And you know what? Thanks to God that I decided to go! Like for real. I was calmed down when I saw my comrades on the bus. They were friendly and having a good sense of humor. When we have arrived at the hotel, we distributed the rooms and had time to get to know each other better. In one week we created our own family where laugh, love, and unity was not missing. We became really good friends. Other participants from Greece, Romania, and Poland were very nice too! They were friendly, polite and kind-hearted, and I’m glad that I had an opportunity to talk with some of them about the deeper topics and, of course, have a good time with them. I think it is really important to learn something new about different cultures, meet new people, communicate with them. And what a blessing to teach others something about your own country! For example, some words, traditions, a chance for them to try national food. Even my name was a real challenge for others to pronounce, that was funny in process, but when they finally learned it, it was a priceless joy. I think it’s amazing how even this small detail made me feel cozy.
I didn’t expect that this project could give that many good things and even change your life a bit. I have wanted to go somewhere for a long time and run away from all the problems I had. And actually, I can say that all my problems became smaller and I became the kind of a different person. A better version, for sure. I learned something that none of the teachers can teach, I don’t even know how to describe it, but after this project, I have some weird feeling, from a good side, for sure. Now I feel an endless peace, happiness, and the fragility of life. Every moment that I experienced here will stay forever in my heart and reminds me of the times when I was happy. Going here was worth it!
For those who have any doubts about going to projects like this, I highly recommend it and guarantee that you will have the best time of your life! Take the risk or lose the chance!
