Dreams. Everybody has own dreams. Only 6 letters, but it has such a deep meaning. My dream was to discover the world since I was 3-years old. This dream has been motivating me for years, and I decided to let itcome true . I took part in FLEX (Future Leaders Exchange) program. Winning this scholarship going to the USA for a year helped me a lot because it’s an opportunity to be an exchange student in another country and a proud representative of Kazakhstan. I would never imagine that once i will be ever gotten such chance. When i was boarding the plane, my hands started shaking, i felt very cold and tried to hold my breath tight. This feeling when you are on the plane to your dream and going forwards to have the most memorable year in your life... these feelings... i would give anything to feel them over and over again. Since I was there, I have gotten a huge experience that helped to find new friends, learn another culture, and live in a real American family. Many events such as IEW (International Education Week) doing presentations in my American High school. Everybody was very interested in discovering something new to them from real people from quite different place with habits, traditions, and lifestyles. I found out that each country and nation has its own cultures, traditions, and places to go to and discover somethings new. To be honest, I am not going to stop because being an exchange student in the USA gave me a big hope that I can do more because I will try to learn the world and teach other people about languages and other cultures. It’s very hard to go somewhere abroad away from own country for a girl from a small city of Kazakhstan and make very big plans. Catching chances and using them wisely are main keys to achieve anything in this life so I am catching this wonderful opportunity to make steps to future. Our life is moving on, and the world is open to learn new things. We all must truly live your life fully to have it in each year differently and fulfilled.
