my favorite country

I was born in ______, the capital of ______, and raised in different cities of the country due to the fact of being the daughter of two soldiers. My parents always taught me to depend on myself at an early age since they wouldn't be able to be there for me most of the time. They taught me also, how it is important to follow my dreams and that I need to work hard in order to reach them.

Since my childhood, I developed a deep interest in world cultures and this interest persisted and now structures my goals. The English language was my first passion, as it is the most commonly spoken language in the world. Then I get into the Korean world when I first watched a Korean drama on a _______ channel nine years ago and started to wonder about the country and get attracted by its culture. When I had to decide my major at university and despite the fact that I specialized in the scientific field during high school, I wanted to study the field that I love the most and with the encouragement of my family I decided to major in the English language and literature

I get accepted in one of the top universities here in ________, where I graduated in 2016 among the top 10 students and received a training session during the summer. The training gave me the opportunity to meet brilliant colleagues and trainers from all over the world who taught u the values of leadership, debating and communication.

Furthermore, I was lucky to find out that my university offers optional classes in foreign languages including Korean. I took Korean classes from my first academic year and I was able to be taught by native Korean teachers and to interact with other Koreans living in ______. However, the best experience that I had was the Korean language competition organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea. I got the second prize and won a one-week trip to Korea. Thanks to this trip I was able to have a first-hand experience with the Korean culture and become even more attracted to it. Acquiring the Korean language made me able to speak four languages and as a result, my passion towards human languages becomes stronger.

After my graduation, I wanted to deepen my knowledge in my major and decided to pursue a master degree in Linguistics, the science of languages. I get accepted by my university for the master degree and I am currently in my first academic year. However I felt that it is better for me to experience an international study as this opportunity would expand my horizon, enhance my knowledge development and enable me to gain international experience. The Korean government scholarship program is a chance for me to meet people from different cultures which will help me with my studies of linguistics.It is a great opportunity for me to develop my career internationally.

Studying in Korea will not only give me the chance to live in my favorite country but also I will benefit from the Korean rich educational system that will inspire me to work hard and reach my goals. I will be able to experience the challenge of living in completely different rich culture where tradition and modernity have joined harmoniously and where media and technology are highly advanced.
