[00:00:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that was the craziest thing I've ever done in my life.
[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine moving to Scotland, the north of Scotland.
[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Without knowing the place, having speaking any English.
[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Of 65 pounds in my pocket that my brother led me to me,
[00:00:26] [SPEAKER_00]: why not even my family?
[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_00]: When I replied for this agency to stay, that sense students abroad and they say,
[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I said, I'm the email that was coming to the north of Scotland.
[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I found my best standing in London.
[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Who lent me the money to pay for the agency?
[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I go hurt. I don't think I'm going.
[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: What I'm gonna do in the middle of nowhere?
[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know where it's not for Scotland.
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_00]: When I went to look in the map, I got to fry.
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_00]: But she said,
[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she said, Julia, remember things happened for a reason.
[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I do believe that.
[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_00]: For my bloodsilking, maybe I'll stay between three months or three years.
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to happen and it's gonna be a decade?
[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get some here.
[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Julia, I've got to put your mind down.
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's say we don't scare it.
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course I was scared.
[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, a whole more or so another country without speaking the language
[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: without knowing the place, with 65 pounds in hard pocket.
[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course she's not well.
[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know?
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: But I've been in life to rely on myself,
[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_00]: that's something I've already learned from my own new life experience.
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Julia, you only have yourself.
[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And if you already have a few people around you.
[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: So, I think my determination came from this is the only option I have now,
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_00]: because I exalted every single female.
[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Scotland's women, ever-lifes, ever-stories.
