I am going on an exchange in Boston College in the coming Fall Semester. Being one of the best colleges in the world, I am more than happy when I first heard this news. Not just academic excellence, but outstanding leadership experiences are needed in order to be selected as the exchange student, representing my home school, HKUST. 
I have always had the dream of studying abroad. I am dying for exploring the world and get my immersed into various cultures. However, my family is not able to support me. When there is finally an opportunity that allowed to achieve my dream at a lower cost, I did not hesitate, or to be more accurate, could not let myself let go of this great opportunity. There may not be another chance for me to go see the world and learn in one of the top-notch institutions.
Boston is a place where Havard and MIT, these Ivy League schools located. The strong academic atmosphere is something I would love to get myself into. Not to mention the diversity there as talents from all over the world will be attracted to study here. I am eager to exchange ideas and learn from them, both academically and culture-wise. 
Hong Kong has been known as an international city but I can't stop thinking if we are still that competitive and if the global vision is still here. I sincerely hope that I can find my answer from this exchange experience and could make a change to my beloved home town.
