After graduating from senior high， I decided to explore China and make a contribution to cultural exchanges， while my brotherargued that I shouldapply to a university in the U.S. I stuck to my decision because I was curious about Chinese traditions and culture. In spite of my inner eagerness， I went all out to improve my spoken Chinese before leaving for China. The moment I arrived at the university， I had butterflies in my stomach. However， not only the beautiful campus but the warm-hearted people left a deep impressionon me within an hour. Despite a busy schedule， I seized every opportunity to go to various clubs like photography and drama. I also toured the sights across the country， enjoying its magnificent views. Though life in a new place was full of challenges， I was confident that I could deal with pressure and difficulties. I figured that I would gain a pretty neat experience in China.
Now I’m back in America， but whenever studying abroad is referred to， I always recommend China in particular. I amlooking forward to visiting China again！
