Why Go Abroad

The main reason is this: a chance for a better life. Filipinos have often equated foreign countries to better economic standing, which would equate to better education, better way of life, and everything else that comes with monetary benefits. This is the primary reason why a lot of our countrymen have decided to find their destinies in foreign lands. Many of those who have a very strong sense of nationalism, however, would often say that this is not a good enough reason. Going abroad, though, has more than financial benefits.

Here are the less-talked about reasons as to why exploring another country is advantageous.

1.       It broadens one’s perspective. Exploring a different country with a totally different culture and imbibing their beliefs, customs, and traditions which coincide with your values helps you see the world in a better light. Having this experience gives you the knowledge of live outside what you are used to.

2.       It is an adventure. It is a new place, a new culture, a chance at establishing yourself in a place where you would have to do thing you have never done before. You will see people, places, and things you have never seen before. Countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand are so vastly different from the Philippines, and having the chance to explore these places is in itself a gift. Although many people say that surviving life in another country is a depressing challenge, it is still an adventure worth taking.

3.       It is a chance to give back to your country. Many Filipinos are offered scholarships to study in the best schools in many English-speaking countries. In some cases, everything is subsidized, as long as the said scholar would go back to his or her own mother country and serve there. Not only do these people have the opportunity to study in some of the best schools in the world, they also have the opportunity to give back to their country by bringing back the knowledge and skills they have earned.

4.       It is an opportunity to prove yourself. Life abroad demands independence and transcending the skills that you already have to keep up with the high standards that superiors would require. Taking the challenge means having to prove yourself more capable than you really are.

Indeed, being able to live in another country is a challenge but is a gift. It all depends on you if you will take this opportunity.
