The Power of Diversity

The diversest people are for me people with amazing qualities and magnifique personalities. Each single person from annother country has its own uniqueness, what enriches my own personality.

Once I was lucky and took the chance to meet people from all over the world in an Erasmus+ project. I grabbed a few things and just started my journey to make the first step. My journey was full of felicities. Air mile by air mile, kilometer by kilometer, step by step my path was lightened up.

The end of my jouney was a castle. There was the place for the project and the place to be for one week. A nun was leading me through the castle and ruins, up to footworned stairs to my room. The bedroom was a room with wooden bunk beds side by side. It smells adventurous. The floor was cracking and screeching from time to time.

We were running through the ruins – one behind the other – in different styles and figures, we were making wild sounds and created a special atmosphere. We tangle against each other, we join together and hold against each other. We were one crowd of various and mutual inspiring people. We all are playing roles according to sphere.

Some people of this group get a particular place in my heart: A girl from Greece and a Boy from Macedonia. I am in a special relationship with the girl, I am on cordial terms with the girl, we both are creative in our lives though life can be difficult from time to time. It feels like I have found my Greek twin. Although our living countries are not related, our hearts are.

There was a special situation with the boy. There was a moment, when he suddenly hugged me very strong and told me really closely, that he feels connected with me. Because I am a little shy person, he heartened me to push myself. He faithfully entrusts me with his own personal shyness and gave me power to overcome myself. His words were so strong and still in my ear, everytime, I still can hear his words so near to my ears.
