I wanted a new experience. I know it\u2019s going to be difficult, since I don\u2019t speak Spanish, but it\u2019s very interesting too. I wanted to explore more. I\u2019m a little introverted, but once I get to know people and places, I\u2019m more confident. And I have this desire for adventure.<\/p>\n
You study abroad. Do you imagine yourself working abroad too? Would you like to return to India?<\/strong><\/p>\n I travel to India every one or two years, to visit my family. I definitely want to come back and to learn my language, tamil, although I don\u2019t really know where I\u2019d like to work. I plan to stay here (in Spain) only for some time. I\u2019m thinking several options\u2026 going back to UK would be a safe one.<\/p>\n How have been your first days in our city?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m slightly overwhelmed. Everyone speaks very quickly for me, so even if they are conversing normally, I have to make an effort to listen. At first, it was a bit scary to be alone, but I have found some people, people like me who don\u2019t know Spanish. And I like a lot Pamplona, it\u2019s a very interesting place in contrast to the UK.<\/p>\n And how do you feel at Larraona? What do you think of our Colegio Mayor?<\/strong><\/p>\n The accommodation is pretty good and the food is really good too. It\u2019s my first time in Spain, so I had never tried Spanish food before. Hopefully, when we have time, I\u2019ll travel around Spain with my international friends, so we can see more cities, go to the beach, to the mountains\u2026<\/p>\n Why did you choose to study Medicine?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>It sounds clich\u00e9, but I want to make an impact on society. And I think that Medicine it\u2019s the biggest way to do it. I\u2019ve always been very hard-working, since high school, so all my family and friends kept saying: \u201cYou can do something big\u201d. I know Medicine is tough, but I just got to be positive and real.<\/p>\n Apart from Medicine, which are your other passions? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?<\/strong><\/p>\n I like listening to music and doing sport: basketball, running, going to the gym, cricket, hockey\u2026 Keeping fit is important.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>What do you miss the most from UK?<\/strong><\/p>\n My friend groups and the language, for the moment is hard for me to talk in Spanish. I\u2019ve been studying it for the past two months. I\u2019ll have to keep talking and trying.
