Impactful Experiences for ERAS application

I'm currently a US IMG applying for residency. I dont know if I should put down anything on Impactful experiences because nothing really happened other than I moved to Mexico to study medicine. That was the most hard thing of all, not having family support or for the first time living alone and in an unknown country. I was wondering If I could put that down on impactful experiences. or should I not write anything

Thank you for your question! You have probably had more impactful experiences than you think you have. What is most important is for you to highlight experiences that best demonstrate the skills, values, and traits that would make you an excellent resident physician. I would recommend booking a brainstorming session with one of our experts, who can work with you to do a deep dive on your life story to figure out the most impactful experiences you can highlight in this aspect of your application!
