In the past when I was studying at school there was a cult of studying abroad. So it was a mainstream. Every student was determined to study overseas, to see the world, to travel. However, I wasn’t involved into that thing because maybe deep inside I knew that I wasn’t really prepared or I would perform poorly if I would apply. However, right now I’m a freshman here in my university and when I got into my university I exactly knew that I would apply for academic mobility. And I think that shows how I changed, that shows my progress, how my mindset was adjusted and that from being afraid to applying to being determined and this desire to work hard gives me chills. Because this became my dream and it is something that I’m working really really hard for and it is something that I want to achieve because I genuinely want to apply to see the world, to meet new people. But not only because of my career, but because of my career.

In the past, when I was studying at school, there was a cult of studying abroad. It was mainstream. Every student was determined to study overseas, to see the world, to travel. However, I wasn't involved in that because maybe deep down I knew that I wasn't really prepared or I would perform poorly if I applied. However, right now I'm a freshman at my university, and when I got into my university, I knew that I would apply for academic mobility. I think that shows how I have changed; it shows my progress, how my mindset has adjusted. From being afraid to apply to being determined, this desire to work hard gives me chills. This has become my dream, and it is something that I'm working really hard for. I genuinely want to apply to see the world, to meet new people, not only for my career but also for my personal growth.
