In the summer of 2018, I decided to recover the entire amount spent on the program, as most of it was not returned to me. Here is my advice: before choosing an agency, weigh all the pros and cons that might arise. First and foremost, do not rule out the fact that your visa might still be denied. Back then, I didn't do that, and in the end, I had neither a summer in America nor my money.

In September of the same year, I applied again, but this time through CMO. They had good reviews, they have been on the market for many years, and all their requirements suited me. I also wanted to mention that only 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year students can participate in this program. At that time, I was a 3rd-year student. I didn't doubt my decision this time, but the fear of not getting a visa still haunted me. Having analyzed my previous mistakes, I weighed all the pros and cons. With a little experience, I tried not to bother the coordinators and just followed the instructions sent to my email. At times, I felt as if the whole world was against my trip to America, and thoughts of withdrawing my documents crossed my mind. But in the end, I saw it through to the end.

Yes, it was the day of the interview again, but fortunately, the day was sunny, and my mood was set from the morning. They say, "As you start your day, so you will spend it," and it was true. The embassy, the checks, all for the second time—it felt like home. Initially, I had a good mindset, no fear, and confidence in my English. The interview went quickly and without unnecessary questions, only to the point. And finally, I heard those cherished words, "Your visa is approved," and my heart beat so fast with happiness, of course. Now I can compare it to saying that it's better than a declaration of love. I just flew out of the embassy, screaming with joy. And so, I want to say with pride that the dream of a little, naive girl has come true.
