I would like to tell you about an important decision that I made, which is choosing my university because I want to pursue higher education academically. The reason why I chose my dream university is that it offers more opportunities in life. I can learn a job with a very good salary and also be independent, not relying on my parents' money all the time. This will help me become more mature. To achieve the goals I want, I have to study very hard and try to be positive so I can absorb all the information more efficiently. My parents also want me to attend a new university, and I understand that. It was very important because it will enable me to make a living for my family and also support my parents. The environment of a new city and the university excites me so much. It keeps motivating me to pursue my dream.
