As I stepped into Heathrow Airport, the vibrant energy enveloped me, a palpable reminder of the myriad of lives converging in this massive space. People from every corne f the globe filled the terminal, each carrying their unique stories and aspirations. The right, open layout, with its towering ceilings and expansive windows, created an atmosphere buzzing with possibility. The rich aroma of coffee blended with the scent of polished metal and new clothes make this bustling hub feel alive with excitement and anticipation. Joining the throng of travellers, I was struck by the shared dreams and hope we all clutched silently in our hearts. My own raced alongside me as I held tightly to my suitcase and a wrinkled piece of paper—the address of my new university. This moment marked a significant pivot in my life; studying medicine had always been my dream, and now that dream lay ahead of me, yet it felt so distant.
