It is really a sacrifice. I don't try work abroad yet but I'm thinking that I'll work to the country that different from culture of my country and far from my friends and family
Yes sacrifice is really the best word in working abroad especially so when it is your first time to go abroad. Sacrifice in the sense that you will leave your family and need to work abroad for them. You will be missing a lot of activities with your family while you are away with them. A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves.
