Q & A

What is one barrier you have overcome? How did you do it and what did you learn?

When I was a small child, 1 moved from France to Switzerland. I was born in France, and I always spoke French with my parents and everyone around me. But in the part of Switzerland where we lived, no one spoke French. Everyone spoke German. That was quite difficult. I had to learn a lot and keep practicing over and over. lt was exhausting. But I had a kind and caring teacher who helped me a lot. l learned that things become easier when you accept help. Same things are almost impossible to do on your own. And l learned that you need to practice a lot, especially if you want to get good at something. You have to keep going, even when it’ s tough. That’s the only way to get better .
