Well, one of the biggest ambition that I haven’t achieved until now is studying abroad. I must say that it is my childhood dream and it even grows on me when I went to university. However, because of the financial constraint that I cannot finish my ambition, it caught me and I’m willing to study abroad because not only tuition free, but also the cost of living here is prohibitively expensive. Therefore, I cannot afford such fee. The only way for me to study abroad is securing a fully funded scholarship. However, such a scholarship is very competitive and attract a lot of talented competition. So, to achieve that, I’m now trying to upgrade my profile by work experience and participate in many social activities. I believe that by that way, I can improve my background and give me a competitive age to acquire a fully funded scholarship. I hope that one day I can set foot in English and make my dream come true.
