For instance, I did my A-levels in an international school, which has made me a relatively confident English speaker. Nevertheless, I faced unexpected challenges when I came to the UK for further studies.\nFirst, being away from home in a completely new environment was highly stressful in itself. I felt like a stranger even among strangers. Hence, my nights were silent battles with insomnia, and my mornings were weighed down by anxiety and depression. These have led to physical symptoms, which were hard to deal with due to the lack of access to quality healthcare in the UK, especially as a migrant.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb94e26 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cb94e26\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f736161 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"f736161\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \u0627\u0636\u0627\u0641\u0647 \u06a9\u0631\u062f\u0646 \u0641\u0648\u0646\u062a Amiri Quran \u0627\u0632 Google Fonts -->\r\n<link href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Amiri:wght@400;700&display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"content-box\">\r\n  <button class=\"toggle-btn\"><span class=\"btn-text\">Read More<\/span><\/button>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"more-text\">\r\n  <p>\r\n   I have also had some bad experiences with the local Ukrainian community and thus felt even more isolated, as I didn't manage to acquaint myself with other expatriates in my new city. Every day felt like walking through fog, not knowing where the path would lead.\r\n\r\nAs a recent graduate, I struggled to find a job in the UK that suited my qualifications both due to strict migration laws, which make employers reluctant to hire foreigners, and my limited knowledge of available assistance schemes for Ukrainians.\r\n\r\nThe turning point came when I found the courage to ask the university staff for help. I received a deadline extension on my assessments, which reduced psychological stress and benefited my studies. As a result, I achieved an upper-second class bachelor's degree at a top university, giving me a competitive edge on the job market. Most importantly, after I voiced my concerns about housing as an international student, the accommodation administration began prioritizing young people from war-affected countries, including Ukraine\r\n\r\nHence, my experience in the UK has made me realize that strength is not in enduring silently, but in reaching out. From isolation I learned resilience, and from asking I discovered community. Even in the darkest chapters, there can be sentences written in light and one open door could change the whole journey.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n  body {\r\n    font-family: 'Amiri', serif;\r\n    font-size: 26px;\r\n    color: #3b2a1a; \/* \u0642\u0647\u0648\u0647\u200c\u0627\u06cc \u062a\u06cc\u0631\u0647 *\/\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .content-box {\r\n    direction: rtl;\r\n    position: relative;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .toggle-btn {\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    background: #208125; \/* \u0631\u0646\u06af \u0627\u0635\u0644\u06cc \u062f\u06a9\u0645\u0647 *\/\r\n    border: none;\r\n    padding: 12px 24px;\r\n    border-radius: 8px;\r\n    cursor: pointer;\r\n    font-size: 26px; \/* \u0633\u0627\u06cc\u0632 \u062f\u06a9\u0645\u0647 *\/\r\n    transition: background 0.3s;\r\n    display: inline-block;\r\n    margin-left: 20px;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .toggle-btn:hover {\r\n    background: #289b2b; \/* \u0633\u0628\u0632 \u0631\u0648\u0634\u0646\u200c\u062a\u0631 *\/\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  \/* \u0641\u0642\u0637 \u0645\u062a\u0646 \u0631\u0648\u06cc \u062f\u06a9\u0645\u0647 \u0628\u0632\u0631\u06af\u200c\u062a\u0631 \u0634\u0648\u062f *\/\r\n  .btn-text {\r\n    font-size: 32px; \/* \u0645\u062a\u0646 \u0631\u0648\u06cc \u062f\u06a9\u0645\u0647 \u0628\u0632\u0631\u06af\u200c\u062a\u0631 *\/\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .more-text {\r\n    max-height: 0;\r\n    overflow: hidden;\r\n    transition: max-height 0.5s ease;\r\n    margin-top: 10px;\r\n    text-align: left; \/* \u0686\u067e\u200c\u0686\u06cc\u0646 *\/\r\n    width: 100%;\r\n    padding: 0 20px;\r\n    box-sizing: border-box;\r\n    color: #3b2a1a;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  .more-text.open {\r\n    max-height: 2000px;\r\n  }\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<script>\r\n  document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function () {\r\n    const buttons = document.querySelectorAll(\".toggle-btn\");\r\n    buttons.forEach(function(btn) {\r\n      btn.addEventListener(\"click\", function () {\r\n        const moreText = document.querySelector(\".more-text\");\r\n        const btnText = btn.querySelector(\".btn-text\");\r\n\r\n        if(moreText.classList.contains(\"open\")) {\r\n          moreText.classList.remove(\"open\");\r\n          btnText.innerHTML = \"Read More\";\r\n        } else {\r\n          moreText.classList.add(\"open\");\r\n          btnText.innerHTML = \"Read Less\";\r\n        }\r\n      });\r\n    });\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Light of future A Light in the Dark Although most of my childhood and teenage years were spent in my hometown, Kyiv, I have been raised in a multicultural environment.
