Student visas and working in Australia

Studying abroad in Australia gave me a chance to learn how to become more independent and responsible. Not only was I on my own, but I was on the other side of the world.  It opened my views on various things and forced me out of my comfort zone at times which allowed me to grow as a person.  I also decided to become an international business minor because of studying abroad in Australia.
