IISMA Vocational 2023: The Most Course I Took and What Did I LearnStudying abroad is almost a dream for everyone, and it sounds very utopian, at least for me who comes from a family with a middle-class economic background. But here I am, writing down this story I wanted to share of my last Winter Semester 2023/2024 in Hochschule Osnabrück - Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, Germany with Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards Vocational Fully Funded Scholarship 2023 as I tried to unravelling and connecting the dots and draw the constellation. Along with four other awardees, I found myself in the charming city of Osnabrück, joining the Faculty of Business Management and Social Sciences majoring International Business Management. Coming along with the other 50+ all around the world, I was surrounded by people coming from different background, different culture, different everything! And what makes it more amazing is how each of us had our own amazing story to tell. One of the highlights was a block week course I took during the fall break titled “Effective Leadership and Cross-Cultural Communication in an Interconnected World,” taught by professors from the University of Southern Indiana, USA. From the first day, I was struck by the warmth and humility of Dr. Rochon, who welcomed us with a big smile. Through this course, I discovered my strengths—Deliberative, Achiever, Futuristic, Learner, and Relator. Never have I known before; strengths quest is much more reflecting yourself rather than the other personality tests I have done before (MBTI, etc). They believe every student and every person has their own strength. This strength is already within you as your specific talents give you the power and edge over the others. To outshine, you really need to show how you can use and develop your strengths to create long-term and sustainable success. Midweek, we engaged in group discussions based on our Strength Quest results, we had this group discussion based on our result in strength quest. There are The Analyst, The Taskmaster, The Mainstay/Supporter, and The Enthusiast. Well, Hi! It is me the Analyst ^^. It is hilarious when I came to The Analyst group in the first 5-minutes it was silenced because all of us were trying to “analyze” the paper and figuring out what we should do.It was both amusing and insightful to see how, despite our different cultural backgrounds, we shared similar traits and approaches.As the course drew to a close, we prepared for our final presentation on Cultural Awareness. My group, which included members from each continent, decided on a role play titled “How Culturally Aware Are You?” Now I could say that the week was the best time of my 20 years of studying. I met people who later became my best friends throughout the semester and still, from 16 countries all over the world, representing every continent. I’ll hold on to these memories, lessons, and people dearly forever.

Considering the numerous inquiries from friends and colleagues about the value of pursuing an MSc degree abroad, I'd like to share some insights:1️⃣ Embarking on a journey for an international degree involves significant investment of time, sacrifices and financial commitments. 2️⃣ Leaving a stable job in your native country to start afresh poses a substantial decision, demanding resilience and determination.3️⃣ For those who cherish social connections and family bonds, the challenge of coping with loneliness during the study period can be profound. 4️⃣ Beyond academic knowledge, the real worth lies in the life experiences gained, transcending the significance of the degree itself.5️⃣ Every day becomes a survival test, balancing work to cover expenses while diligently pursuing studies for a respectable outcome. Unlike those with financial ease, students from middle-income backgrounds navigate a distinct studying-abroad experience.Ultimately, it's not just about mastering the subject matter but learning from the book of 'Life' while living thousands of miles away from 'Home'. The journey enriches your existence far beyond the confines of a classroom, making the pursuit of an international degree a transformative odyssey overall. #StudyAbroad #LifeExperience #EducationJourney
