I have been given the great opportunity to study abroad for a semester. I really excited about this award for the reason I always was passionate about studying out of my country. I hope I will get a large number of knowledge and high score of a university degree. Moreover, studying abroad will give me more choices of career prospects in the future.

Furthermore, I can daily chat with my friends and communicate from video callings while I am away. We can share with photos to each other and talk about our adventures. Thankfully internet we can support our relationships.
