Applying for international opportunities felt uncertain at first. I didn’t even have a clear answer about my future, and whenever I spoke about pursuing conflict journalism, people around me would say there was no scope in it. But deep down, I knew I wanted more than just a stable path — I wanted meaning, impact, and stories that matter.

My journey truly began when I started exploring scholarships and global programs. That’s when I came across Scholarships Corner, which became one of my main sources of guidance. Through it, I learned how international applications work, what documents are required, and how to prepare myself for competitive opportunities like Erasmus.

I won’t say it was easy. In 2025, I applied for Erasmus for the first time and faced rejection. It was discouraging, and for a moment, I questioned whether I was good enough. But instead of giving up, I took it as a learning experience. I worked on improving my application, refining my goals, and understanding what truly makes a strong candidate.

The following year, I applied again for the Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Journalism, Media and Globalisation — and this time, I got selected.

Getting that acceptance felt surreal. All the uncertainty, doubt, and effort finally made sense. Today, I am part of a program that aligns perfectly with my passion for journalism, global narratives, and conflict studies, studying across Denmark and the United Kingdom.

Looking back, I realize that not having all the answers in the beginning wasn’t a weakness — it was the start of my journey. Sometimes, uncertainty is what pushes you toward the path you’re truly meant to follow.
