The title of my blog. . .

On Friday, our first full day in the Study Centre, we had a mandatory orientation meeting. We were welcomed to London by Dr. Kathleen Paul, who gave us some great advice. She told us to "Embrace the differences." London is not like home, and we should embrace the differences instead of dwelling on them. Then, she also told us about the tunnels that goes from one building to another and reminded us that during World War II, people had to hide in the tunnels while London was being bombed by the Nazis. I decided to adopt that as my motto for this experience, if anything makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, I just remind myself: At least we're not being bombed by the Nazis. It's amazing how it changes your perspective.
