I remember clearly when I received my first e-mail about the opportunity of joining the Ireland Seminar. It was a rainy day in Malaysia and the chance of experiencing another culture was so exciting that I think I couldn't sleep well for a couple of days however after few weeks and due to several difficulties registering for classes I was put on the waitlist. I was frustrated and after a month of waiting for an available spot I gave up and even decided to forget about it. Approximately 2 months later and exactly just few hours before I was leaving Asia to come back to America I received another e-mail saying that my registration for the Seminar has been approved. I was so happy that even though leaving Malaysia was heartbreaking, I was very grateful for my new upcoming adventure.
My own Irish experience!
