Lucie Tatoušková, Prague

TELL US ABOUT YOU:

My name is Lucy. I am a student of International Trade at University of Economics in Prague (Czech Republic). I spent last fall semester 2018/2019 as an international student at Karlstad University.

First of all, I would like to say that it was one of the best time in my life and it changed myself, my life, my goals, my attitude...and many other things (If I had to mention everything I would write here for ages), a lot.

I met amazing people around who helped me with everything and became as my Karlstad family. At the beginning, I was struggling with my English a lot but university, teachers and my friends helped me to take a big step in my life and move me forward. It forced me to go out of my comfort zone and want more and more from my life. I have to say that I travel a lot but I am still impressed by how people nice and supportive can be and I never stop educating myself. I am grateful for every single minute which I could have spent in Karlstad and which helped me t o see th e world from a different point of view. In the future, I would be glad to help and give some advice to new exchange students coming to Karlstad and spread my amazing experience about Karlstad around the world.

I also want to represent Karlstad Universitet at my home university. I believe that thanks to international alumni network people can inspire me as well as other people can be inspired by me. It is important to make Karlstad University growing worldwide. Now I am thinking about studying my master degree in Sweden thanks to my program at your UNI (maybe even in Karlstad, who knows). Provisionally I feel responsible for representing Karlstad University as an alumni ambassador.
