Even though he looks smart and charming, it turns out he admitted that he had been mentally ill and experienced an identity crisis.

Xaviera has migrated to Ginseng Country apparently 8 years ago. At the age of 15, this woman chose to study high school at the Korea Science Academy of KAIST. It is known that from high school to college, he studied on a scholarship.
When talking in a podcast hosted by Denny Sumargo, Xaviera admitted that he had experienced a traumatic experience. He admitted that he had a mental breakdown during his first year of high school in South Korea.

Not without reason, the reason behind Xaviera's mental illness is a matter of adaptation. The reason is that he entered one of the top schools in South Korea. So when he first entered, Xaviera was shocked because he had to face the young geniuses in that country.
"So when I first arrived, I had to compete against Korea's top genius. I was super shocked," said Xaviera, quoted from brilio.net on Thursday (11/7).
To try to keep up, he had to study hard. According to his confession, Belva Devara's sister-in-law even had to study every day until 10 pm.
Apart from that, he also admitted to experiencing an identity crisis. The reason is, in one international class class, she was the only woman who wore the hijab. She admitted that it was a bit difficult to find friends because usually women who wear the hijab are labeled with certain stereotypes.

"And I was the only one who wore the hijab in my class. So it felt like when I was in middle school I could make friends easily. But when I got to high school there, it was like if I wanted to make friends, people already had stereotypes about what I was like," she said.
He even said that not doing anything was already accepting negative assumptions. Therefore, at the age of 15, she must try to be a representative of someone who wears the hijab. That people wearing the hijab did not match what their friends thought at that time.
"And I haven't done anything about it, I already have assumptions. And I realized it for a year. I'm still 15 years old, right sis. It feels like I have to represent people who wear the hijab," he said.

Thankfully, he was able to adapt quickly. So in the second year it showed a quality that made people change their views regarding Xaviera's hijab.
"So from there, I finally got all kinds of additional scholarships. People started to change their minds," concluded Xaviera.
