Making the decision to study in Australia is a life-changing step, and for Samantha, a driven student from Cali, Colombia, it’s been an unforgettable journey. Guided by the team at Monkeys, Samantha’s experience shows how powerful the right support can be when building a new life in another country. We are excited to share her experience in our blog and invite you to watch her video testimonial…
From Colombia to Australia: A Fresh Start
Samantha arrived in Australia last year. Her journey began in Cairns, where she first enrolled in a General English course to build her language skills. Afterwards, she continued her studies in Brisbane through an IELTS preparation course, setting her up for future academic and professional opportunities. Now, she is embarking on a new academic journey to become proficient in Project Management skills which complements well with her career as a Chemist.
English Courses for International Students: Embracing the Learning Process
Like many international students studying in Australia, Samantha faced the initial fear of speaking English in a new environment. But she quickly learned that making mistakes is part of the process, and growth comes from embracing those moments. “Even though you’re sometimes afraid of speaking or talking to people, the best thing to do is just embrace the process,” she shared. Monkeys Education and Migration Agency supports this mindset fully. Our goal is to empower students to feel confident, grow through experience, and connect with their new communities in Australia.
How Studying Abroad Changed Her Mindset
Samantha’s decision to study abroad has had a profound impact on both her personal and professional development. “Coming to another country changes you a lot, not just your personality, but also how you think,” she said. She encourages others from Colombia and around the world to make the jump. Whether you’re unsure about the destination or the path ahead, she believes that saying yes to this opportunity can open up a world of possibilities.
