3. I WISH THAT THE APPLICATION HAD ASKED ME:
DESCRIBE A TIME WHEN YOU TAKE A CHALLENGE. AND WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME.
CAMINO DE SANTIAGOEDDIE CHIU
After my father passed away, I saw this move, in which the father finished the Camino for his son, who died in the attempt of walking Camino.
And that is when I decided that on the anniversary ofmy father’s death, I willwalk the Camino to honor him.

I walked on average 30km per day for 28 days, from French border all the way across Spain.

I knew ahead of time that the weather condition was not ideal: it was heavy winter, and one of the worst storms in 50 years covered most of Europe at the time
Nevertheless, I choose to proceed…
On top of the weather, physical obstacles challenged me: blister, cramp, muscle inflammation… but these difficulties do not stop me…
On The Way, I made friends who are from all over the world.
And I saw some of the most spectacular beauties I have ever seen.
100km Mark!
Step by step, I was closer and closer to my destination.
I continued to walk, with faith and determination.
And this is it! Santiago de Compostela!(en.wikipedia.org)
I took the risk and step into the unknown with courage, and the result is fruitful yet invaluable. I had not only overcame the challenge of the nature but also confronted my own fear and other emotional weakness. During the one month period, I had gained a deeper insight of myself in terms of who I really am and what my limits are.
These experiences and understandings will strengthen my personal characters and help me become more successful in my professional life.
Buen Camino!
