...experience into question. When I feel very depressed about my future like this, however, I always consciously keep telling myself that although it does not guarantee or is not related to my success, all experiences are meaningful, “The Journey is the reward.”. In this line of thought, I try to challenge diverse experiences and find precious meanings in them. My name is Gyung Eun Kim, and I am glad to have this opportunity to apply to Exchange Student Program (ESP). Of course, curriculum in Yonsei University are so systematic and interesting that I have learned various fields of study deeply. I have always dreamed of studying abroad, especially in United States, though, because it can offers a lot of different and valuable experiences First of all, the main advantage of studying in US is that I can learn about my major ‘communication’ from various views. I have dreamed of being journalist since I was in high school, and that’s the main reason why I entered in to Yonsei University and major in Communication now. In major classes, I repeatedly heard that students who want to learn journalism more can experience the most developed and ‘time-honored’ journalism study in United States. That’s because the majority of theories in Communication came from professors of universities in US and US have much longer history in journalism than Korea. Therefore, In US, by listening lectures about history of journalism in US and watching a lot of news channels, I can learn much more diverse views and...

...Essay for OSEP Why would you like to participate in the OSEP? First of all, to be honest, the sound of studying in a foreign environment is extremely exciting. Why exciting? It is the idea of independence, exploring new things, different culture & environment, making new friends, stepping out of my comfort zone and so much more. Let's put them into details: 1. Independence - I think independence can be picked up even locally, but your parents will always be there to pick you up when you fall unlike when you are overseas by yourself. That to me, living by yourself, simple things like; settling your daily meals & needs, doing laundry and just everything by yourself is one of the best ways to me to up your independence. 2. Exploring new things / different culture - Like what Mary Anne Radmacher said, "I am not the same, having seen the moon on the other side of the world." Embracing a whole different culture will not only help better myself as an individual but also widen my horizons that can be useful whether it is in business settings or street knowledge in the near future. 3. Making new friends - There's nothing better than making more friends, especially around the world. Period. I like to see having friends in this manner "Friends teaches you life lessons like no others can." 4. Stepping out of my comfort zone - I think this is one of the greatest takeaways from the OSEP. Just basically, staying in a foreign country where English isn’t native language...

...Tiange Zou Dr.Backman English 100 January 30, 2012 Memoir of an Autistic Kid I was born and raised in China. According to its law every family is only allowed to have one child. Therefore, I grew up with no brothers or sisters. My parents used to be very busy with their work when I was a toddler. They left home very early in the morning and came back very late, so I did not see my parents often. My grandma was the only person to look after me at that time. Thinking back, the only time I saw my parents was during the weekends. I would sometimes look for my mom and dad. I asked my grandma one time: “where are Mom and Dad?” My grandma was a very humble and good-hearted person. She would say, “Mom and dad are working today and they will bring your favorite toys home tonight. So, you had better be a good boy tonight and finish your dinner.” I did not see any toy the next day and would forget to ask about my toys.My grandma used to spoil me a lot because my parents were not around and I was her only grandson at the time. She would feed me 3 meals a day and give me anything I ask for. She would carry me around even though I was capable of walking by myself. She would not to go to sleep before I fall asleep.Under this kind of circumstance, I gradually became self-centered and did not know how to communicate with others well. When I grew much older, I thought I was very special and could have everything from...

...Dear Dongmei, Thanks for your letter, and I’m happy to show you some my opinions. As far as I’m concerned, Rachel’s behavior is understandable. You know, more and more students participate in the student exchange programme, and their character, purpose and so on are different. We can’t think they’re same. In fact, everyone is different. So I think Rachel doesn’t choose integrate into Chinese culture more because of her personal reasons. Perhaps Rachel is too much shy or unconfident to communicate, or she regards Chinese as a subject, or she doesn’t have power to learn. One possibility is that she is too shy or unconfident to communicate. What’s known is that character has a great influence on people. For example, a shy person doesn’t like talk more with people who is strange. And an unconfident person usually doesn’t tell someone his idea. Besides you’re good friends. So I think maybe as a result of her character, Rachel choose not to integrate into Chinese culture. Another possibility is that she regards Chinese as a subject. In my view, if someone does a work which he has no choice, his efficiency and enthusiasm are lower than he does a work which is his favorite. If she regards Chinese as a subject, her aim possible is high grade but communicate better. So she has little enthusiasm after class and chooses not to take some activities related to local culture. Certainly, it may be because she has no power to learn. It’s known that power makes us to be better. When we do something...

...TOPIC: THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF STUDYING OVERSEAS We mostly do wish to improve our knowledge for a better life by the way of studying abroad. And in most case, we choose to study in developed countries to get a progressive education. The reality is that there are more and more young people choose to study abroad rather than in local universities. In my opinion, studying overseas will bring to us both the advantages and disadvantages. First of all, when studying abroad we have a very good opportunity to improve our language. Since we live with local people surrounding, we practice with native speaker in every aspect of life. The environment there force us have to use English day by day. Therefore, naturally we have chance to practice and improve our language. Secondly, when we live in a new environment, it offers chance for us to broaden our mind. We experience the culture, custom, lifestyles and self-survive ability as well. People live in their own way and they face with problem in positive ways. We interact with different people come from different culture. Especially, you may make friends with many kinds of people from different countries. It should be interesting for us to have friends around the world and learn from different languages and cultures. Furthermore, studying abroad is the best way for us to learn from new high technology and methodology that we never get before in hometown. We may touch with the modern world that we used to see in TV only....
