She is someone who is open and energetic, but who can also experience fluctuations in energy and emotions, especially in new or intense situations. This means that social interaction and unfamiliar environments can sometimes take a lot of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She joined an Erasmus+ project in Spain focused on improving opportunities for people with disabilities &#8211; something she personally relates to. \u201cI wanted to contribute so that people like me would have more opportunities,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stepping out of routine <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trip lasted five days, but it left a lasting impression. Laura was especially excited to meet new people, experience a different culture, and step away from her daily routine. \u201cI was looking forward to everything being different &#8211; even something as simple as wearing summer clothes in November.\u201d Of course, there were also doubts. \u201cI was worried I wouldn\u2019t have the courage to speak up,\u201d she says. Even small, irrational fears played a role, like accidentally having something illegal in her suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But once she arrived, that uncertainty quickly shifted. \u201cAfter the first meeting, I already felt: this is going to be an amazing experience.\u201d What made the biggest difference? The atmosphere. \u201cEveryone was so positive and supportive. It felt safe to be yourself.\u201d One moment stood out in particular. During group discussions, Laura shared her thoughts \u2014 and noticed people were truly listening. \u201cYou could see it in their faces. That gave me so much confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feeling seen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Laura, the experience was not just about travel, but about recognition and equality. \u201cSeeing adults really listen to young people with disabilities, that was very special. It felt like we were treated as equals.\u201d This helped her realize something important: she is not alone. \u201cWe all have to adapt to a world that wasn\u2019t built for us. But we share those experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning and growing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience also taught her more about herself. \u201cI realized I\u2019m not as extroverted as I thought\u2026 sometimes my social battery just runs out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it gave her confidence. She now knows she can handle new situations, meet new people, and navigate unfamiliar environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Her message is clear:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Society may set limits, but you don&#8217;t have to stay within them.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60{border-top-left-radius:30px;border-top-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-left-radius:30px;overflow:clip;isolation:isolate;}.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{border-top-left-radius:30px;border-top-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-left-radius:30px;}.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id9241_461567-60 alignnone has-theme-palette2-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column9241_a25922-a7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column9241_a25922-a7\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">Her advice for students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laura encourages other students not to hold back:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9241_732d00-b3:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9241_732d00-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9241_732d00-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items9241_732d00-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items9241_732d00-b3 ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items9241_732d00-b3 kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\"><style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-9241_1f4f0d-0e .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-9241_1f4f0d-0e\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkCircle kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"  fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M22 11.08V12a10 10 0 1 1-5.93-9.14\"\/><polyline points=\"22 4 12 14.01 9 11.01\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Don&#8217;t be afraid.
