Exciting student life filled with anticipation.

I am about to study abroad, and I have both anticipation and a bit of fear. Throughout my life, my English has always been poor, so I never considered studying abroad. When I just started university, my family consulted me on studying abroad and relayed the information to me. At that time, I was resistant and unwilling to listen. I even said something harsh to my mother: "I will never study abroad, so don't worry about it." I thought my judgment was reasonable. After graduating from undergraduate, I didn't want to pursue a master's degree, let alone studying abroad. Ultimately, I was worried about my poor English and the communication barriers I might face abroad. This was actually me hesitating in my own mind. Perhaps it was because I wasn't prepared to enter the workforce, or maybe it was seeing my friends flocking to study abroad, or perhaps it was my desire to use the opportunity of studying abroad to develop my independence and experience different customs and cultures in a safe environment. Many senior students who have studied abroad have told me before that although the academic pressure is high, they can use holidays to travel and broaden their horizons and knowledge. So, my mindset has changed. Now, I want to live up to my parents' efforts and take responsibility for myself. I hope that my one year of studying abroad will be worthwhile and fulfilling.
