Living abroad provides many opportunities and challenges. When I study abroad, I look forward to making friends. By getting to know people, I will be able to improve my English language proficiency. There are idioms and words that are best learned within the context of real conversations with native speakers.
I also look forward to being a participant in a new culture. At the end of my stay, I hope that I will understand the culture in a different and deeper way than is possible when information is derived from only movies and books.
In addition, I am excited about studying on a foreign campus. I expect the college courses to be challenging, and I am eager to learn about the latest technological advances in my field of study.
I am realistic about the disadvantages of foreign study, however. I know that I will miss my family very much. It will be too expensive to return to my country to spend holidays with them, and I will be very lonely during the times when I know that they are gathered for special celebrations.
Another aspect of the experience that I do not look forward to is the reliance on fast food that is so typical of college students. Pizza, hamburgers, and other junk foods are easier to find and prepare than the meals that I enjoy in my country, but they aren't as good, and they probably aren't as healthy.
Finally, I imagine that my life will be very stressful because I will be competing with students who know the language of the classroom and are accustomed to the expectations that the professors have for their students. I am a competitive person by nature, and I am apprehensive about my ability to compete with my classmates.
Once I am living abroad, I will no doubt find many other opportunities to take advantage of and many challenges that I must confront. Nevertheless, I expect my experience to be overwhelmingly positive, and I intend to see the lessons in both adventures and adversity.
What would you take for a trip?
If I were supposed to leave my home for one year, I will
take surely with me, besides clothing and personal care
items, the picture of my girlfriend.
I will take my girlfriend's picture with me, mainly because
she is the most important person in my life.
Also to be
able to see her all days and finally to remember that there
is something important to return my home.
My girlfriend is the love of my life. During all the time I
have spent with her, I have realized that she is the only
woman I want to be for the rest of my life.
She brings me
both peace and security. Furthermore she gives me a reason to keep enjoying this party called "the life." No matter how, I will always try to be with her. That is why, carrying a picture of her can be a way to see her during all
this long year. I could see her anytime I wanted to, no
matter what time it is. In the mornings I would receive all
her blessing thoughts just by looking to the picture. This
would give me the strength to start the day with happiness.
In the afternoons I could buy some food and eat in
front of her to feel that we are eating together. Finally
during the nights I could talk to the picture, pretending
that she is there in the same place with me, and tell her
all the experiences I got through the day, so that would
help me to go to the bed not feeling alone but full of
The picture would help me to remember that there is
someone in other place who loves me and who cares
about me.
It would remind me that I have her to support
me and give me all the confidence I need to be a better
man in my life. In conclusion, If I have to choose one
thing to take with me in a one year trip, that will be without a doubt my girlfriend's picture.
