Australian Citizenship

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

It took many years, sweat and tears but I got there in the end. I became a citizen of Australia after 12 years! That’s a really long time but I didn’t focus on the big picture every day. I took little steps towards small wins, whilst keeping my end goal in the back of my mind. You have to be able to live life and enjoy every day, remembering not to wish your life away. This was a hard goal to set myself but it was all worth it and the reward was that I get to live in a country where dreams can come true. Even if I leave, it’s a comfort to know that the door will always be open.

I have a few big goals in my life and I am still currently working towards them, however, I like to keep my progress quiet until the goal has been reached. That being said, a main goal in my life that I can share is to be happy, healthy and enjoy as much of life as we possibly can 🙂.

  1. If I were younger, the challenge would be a worthwhile goal. At this stage in life, my roots are buried here. Yet with many of the issues currently taking place in the USA, it is tempting to look elsewhere. Upon hearing of your success, I am pleased that you have achieved such a milestone. Congratulations!

  3. That is a great question. There were a few hurdles to say the least. One challenge was training for a job that would enable me to be allowed into the country, that took about 7 years. The application for permanent residency first was long and arduous and then you have to apply for citizenship, complete an exam and take the pledge, all of which had obstacles for me.
