QUESTIONS FOR PART 3 
How did people around you respond to it? 
My family was quite happy for me, but it was bittersweet (happy and sad at 
the same time)for them because they really missed me. Since my parents were 
immigrants to Canada, they never had these opportunities when they were 
young, so they were joyous that I was able to. However, they were concerned 
that I would party too much instead of study! Moreover, they would stress about 
my whereabouts (where I was, what I was doing) and well-being while in 
Chile. 
Do you like changes? Why? 
Certainly! I’m not a creature of habit (a person who likes the same routine)at 
all. Actually, I get so bored with a monotonous (always the same; never 
changing)life. Moreover, I’m an extremely adaptable person, so I think I can 
embrace (make the best of) and intigrate myself into almost any unfamiliar 
situation. I believe we all need changes to help us grow and simply make life 
more interesting. 
Why do some people hate changes?

Well, I would say the number one reason is fear. It often happens that people 
are afraid of what the change may bring. Another reason is that some people 
become so attached to their daily routine that they feel off-kilter (shocked, 
unbalanced)when it’s tweaked. I think this especially happens to the elderly. 
Lastly, changes are difficult! Although we may know that the change is 
necessary, like perhaps leaving your current job that you hate, it’s still hard to 
make that first move (to make the change happen). Change requires 
discomfort and adjustment! 
How can you change people’s opinions? 
I would say that the number one way to do this would be through a peaceful 
dialogue. In the world today, many people resort to violence, threat, or other 
extreme measures to try to change someone’s mind. However, I think this is 
ineffective. I believe all parties must sit together and listen to each other’s ideas 
before any change can happen.
