Give at least two other reasons why you want to study abroad: One of the main benefits of studying abroad is that you become more independent and know how to deal with new and unfamiliar situations. I have already experienced this benefit during some of my past short-term exchanges organized by my school. When I went to Green Bay, Wisconsin, I was on a completely different continent, far away from home. I was quickly integrated into the school and social life and felt immersed in a completely different life than the one I was used to. It was amazing. I became so much more open-minded and independent during these experiences abroad that I value them so much, apart from experiencing a new culture and learning another language. Another reason for me to spend a year in the USA is that I plan to go to university in the USA. That's a big plan, and this year is not only helping me decide if the USA is really my favorite country to go to college, but this experience is also preparing me for what's to come. I am getting to know the United States and what studying abroad is really like.

English is the language that join people throughout the world, so a good control of English is fundamental for both work and fun. I want to discover the world and see in person everything that I have only been able to see in American teen movies
