Dreams and Goals for the Future | Study With New Zealand

My English is much improved after studying in New Zealand and I will achieve “university entrance” which means I can now choose to study anywhere in the world.

Studying in New Zealand really helped shape both my personal and professional goals. Before coming to New Zealand, I never thought about working abroad as a speech therapist. However, after my experience here, I definitely have thought about it.

Studying in New Zealand also helped me discover my passion for traveling and I have now made it a goal of mine to incorporate more travel into my life.

In New Zealand, I was fortunate enough to find role models and mentors practicing in some of fields that I am interested in pursuing. Specifically, I was involved in an organisation that provides mental health services to underserved youth as a means to increase school retention, reduce recidivism, and promote social mobility.

Some patterns of social inequity, I learned, are universal. Living in New Zealand provided me with newfound insight and an alternative perspective to many of the familiar problems I’ve worked to tackle in the US.

Whatever your personal dreams and goals may be, studying abroad in New Zealand provides the opportunity to pursue them through a new avenue.
