When coming to America, everyone expects different things: some want to improve their English, some want to earn money, others want to travel, but I got so much more than that - I found the support I was missing here, the understanding I craved. I met friends from other countries with whom I still keep in touch, and I visited places where movies were filmed and that we have all seen in photos many times. This summer had so much - various interesting acquaintances, laughter to tears, work, travel, alcohol, tears, concerts by Imagine Dragons and Evanescence, and everything that cannot be put into words. And it was this summer that I found myself, understood what I want, what I love and whom, and changed my worldview..) I would like every person to have such a summer in their life, because it's like getting out of a routine and just feeling the world and yourself, in a word - living! A summer in the USA is not just about improving your language, traveling, or money - it's about your changes, a new perception of the world, and understanding yourself and what you are capable of.. I hope that my mini-statement will resonate in the heart of someone who is doubting whether to go or not, and they will decide that it is worth a try, because only a crazy person would refuse such an opportunity!
