As a high school and college student in rural and small town Ohio, I looked longingly into the sky every time a plane flew overhead. As you can imagine, I was beyond excited when I got the opportunity to live short term in central Asia!<\/p><p>Excited, that is, until I got over there and discovered fears that froze me and held me prisoner in my apartment. Not knowing the local language combined with the lack of security in my neighborhood, and the feeling of isolation and loneliness, I wanted to run back\u00a0 home to the familiar. But, through the encouragement of others surrounding me, I found a Strength living inside me and I stuck it out. In the end, those six months turned out to be one of the most incredible, life-changing experiences I have ever had!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-16793481 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-items-top elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"16793481\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;curve&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_top&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-top\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M0,6V0h1000v100L0,6z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" data-negative=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n    <path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M1000,4.3V0H0v4.3C0.9,23.1,126.7,99.2,500,100S1000,22.7,1000,4.3z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-14115da3\" data-id=\"14115da3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29baaefc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29baaefc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">My Passion<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f6f62b0 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"3f6f62b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29bdfd1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29bdfd1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1384 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/globaloutrigger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Melissa-Miller-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaloutrigger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Melissa-Miller-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/globaloutrigger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Melissa-Miller-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/globaloutrigger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Melissa-Miller-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/globaloutrigger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Melissa-Miller-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/globaloutrigger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Melissa-Miller-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Years later, I had the opportunity to work with the children of international workers (TCKs), helping them understand their identities and walking them through many life-altering transitions.
