Well, the most difficult decision I have ever made was whether or not I should study in the USA next year. 🤔 The most important conversation I had so far was with my parents about whether or not I should study in the USA next year.
In recent years, there’s this growing tendency among high school graduates to embark on a study abroad program. 🌍 I have always wanted to do the same, because it’s a good opportunity to see the world 🌎, experience different styles of education 📚, and improve my language skills 🗣️. And for a girl who has never been far away from home, studying in a foreign country might bring out my independent nature. 🚀
But I needed to give it some careful thought before I could make the decision. I told my parents, who are both open-minded about my plan, and they were pretty supportive. However, they also pointed out some disadvantages.
My mom told me that being in a new place by myself could be overwhelming sometimes and it tests my ability to adapt to diverse situations. 🌐 And it’s highly possible that I would feel lonely and helpless every so often because all of my close friends and family members are on the other side of the world. 😢 I would be completely on my own, and basically, everything I took for granted in the past would then be a challenge, like paying bills 💸, opening bank accounts 🏦, communicating with fellow students 🗨️, and the list goes on and on.
All of a sudden, I felt stuck. All those challenges sounded terrifying, but I really didn’t want to miss this great chance to broaden my horizon and learn more about other cultures around the world. 🌈 I weighed up the pros and cons carefully, and after some serious consideration, I finally made up my mind to seize the opportunity to go abroad for study.
