Big dreams and shattered plans

When I was in the 10th grade, I became interested in Western culture. I watched films, series, read a lot about the USA and life there. And I decided to live the American life at least a little. And for this I had only 1 opportunity, this is to enter there. I was preparing for exams, taking them one by one. But when it came to the SAT exam, it was canceled due to covid19. At this point, I lost the whole point of working on this dream.

Acceptance of the present and study in Kazakhstan

And I realized that all my plans collapsed. I began to prepare for the UNT and began to consider the universities of Kazakhstan. Now I am studying in Almaty, thinking that I have already missed my opportunity to fly to the United States and at least see American life a little.

Sudden Opportunities and New Hope

Watching instagram stories, I came across a story of my classmate, where he shows how he flies to the USA under the work and travel program. I was shocked. Immediately began to look for information about such programs. Suddenly, I had hope for a trip to the United States, and it was like I had a second wind

A lot of teenagers don't know about it

This program provides a great opportunity to travel and work abroad. It helps to see a lot of new things and gain a lot of experience from residents of other countries. But why didn't I know about such programs until now. Of course I'm glad that there are many such programs and they give a lot of opportunities to students, but I think a lot of people like me just don't know about it. No one, of course, was obliged to tell me about this, but it would be better if more people told and advertised such programs. For a long time I lived without knowing about such programs.
