Studying abroad changed me...

Personally, I think the biggest change from studying in the UK is that I became more confident! When I was studying in Taiwan, everyone around me was really thin, so I was always anxious about my body. In junior high and high school, boys often said things like my arms were thick and how did I dare wear a skirt. I was always dieting and exercising, then I'd lose a little weight and start binge eating again, stuck in a vicious cycle. But after coming to the UK to study, I saw people of every body type feeling confident about themselves, and from them I realized that I dress nicely for myself! My friends here also often encourage me to try different styles of clothing, which makes me even more confident. I no longer let other people's opinions make me throw on a jacket in summer no matter how hot it is, or give up the little skirts I love because my legs aren't thin enough～
