I CAN DO THIS

Having improved her English proficiency through a mix of traditional learning materials and social media platforms, Chiara was nervous as she prepared to apply her language skills in real-life situations, such as at the time attending her classes at Harvard University. But with her determination and positive and bubbly personality, she received support and motivation from her professors and friends, who had the same drive to connect with others and live memorable moments "… if I'm here, that means that I want to do this and I can do this, so I’ll do my best because I love this environment, I love that I'm here.” The study abroad experience helped Chiara practice her English and prove to herself that even with nerves and uncertainty, such as when she arrived at the university if she was there, she had to do her best and make the experience as incredible as it can be. And so, she did, sharing on her platforms the good and not-so-good aspects of college life. For Chiara, keeping everything real and precise while inspiring others was indispensable.

Chiara's experience as a content creator and influencer not only brought new opportunities and improved her skills but also helped her grow and learn more about herself. These lessons have been crucial in shaping her online presence in the current era of social media. In the summer of 2023, Chiara is set to embark on another programme at UC Berkeley, where she will be enrolled in courses focused on social media in journalism and emotional intelligence. This presents another moment of uncertainty, another challenge, as maintaining everything in order when you're an influencer, a student, and a regular 21-year-old girl. But taking the risk is worth it, and being as spontaneous as Chiara can take you to places you never imagined. Now the question arises: Are we ready to embrace challenges and embark on extraordinary adventures, just like Chiara? It is up to us to make a difference in this digital world and adapting Chiara’s “Live-Do-Share” lifestyle sounds like a great place to start.
