Studying in the United States has been my dream since I was a kid. Because the US was a wonderful country in my immature eyes.
I have never been to the US. I just see that country on TV. When I was young, I have seen the US many times through the movies and TV programs. And I was amazed at the tall buildings, the light bulbs, and the high technology. I wished to set foot on the Statue of Liberty, White House, Disneyland, and other famous places in the US. I determined to come to the US someday.
But the dream of a child did not stop there. When I studied at secondary school, I realized that schools in Vietnam were not ideal study environment. Most schools have old facilities and no modern equipment, some lack laboratory instruments. Education in Vietnam is too heavy on theory, lacking practical and inactive. In each lesson, every knowledge is spoke by the teacher, then students write down. Students must study so hard, with the schedule of five periods a day, and six-day school week. There are up to 12 compulsory subjects at school. Study a lot, but educational efficiency is not high. Vietnamese students are only taught the knowledge in books, and not trained the life skills. Extracurricular activities are also not attached special importance. No sports, no clubs, no entertainment. I need something different, more active, more practical, and more importantly I can learn more than what are in the textbooks. So I want to study abroad in high school. I think high schools in the US would be the good study environment for me.
In the US, I could study at a school which has good facilities, apart from classrooms and playground, there are function rooms equipped fully such as computer room, gym, library, lab,... My study will also be better if there are experiments and models in lessons of chemistry, physics and biology. I’d love to see the experiments and models, because studying science just in theory can not be called ‘studying science’. At school I can speak my own opinions, can make questions to the teacher about what I do not understand. I can joined many outdoor activities such as camping, sports, or elective courses that I enjoy. Acting plays is my favorite, but I have never done it before, because there is not any course like this at my school. The active environment in the US can help me to learn things that I am unable to learn in Vietnam. For instance, I can practice public speaking ability, creative thinking, social skills,..., and learn how to handle unexpected situations. The main curriculum does not take too much time so I can do other things like part-time job or a volunteer work.
Moreover, I want to experience an independent life. I have grown, and I need to learn how to live without parents. My father is always thinking that I can’t take care of myself. I want to prove to my parents that I can do everything well without care of them, even in a foreign country. I will cook, do laundry, clean the house by myself. Living in the US also lets me know more about American culture, people and geography. I could welcome Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving,..., which are no or not important in Vietnam. I will go to the places where I am yearning to come, so that I realize my childhood dream.
To be able to study abroad in the US, the most important is English. I began studying English when I was 7. Although until now my English is still not good, I am trying to improve it. Apart from English, I also studied science subjects well at secondary school. Besides, in order to live alone in a foreign country I need to learn to take care of myself, do housework as well as preparing psychology and the ability to cope alone. Fortunately, I determinded to study abroad for a long time, so I have enough confidence to experience an independent life. I believe that I can do it. About finance, my family has not much money for me to study abroad, but I will try to gain a scholarship. Now my plan is study English, then take a scholarship examination to be able to study in the US next year.
This was my essay to attend Vietabroader conference in July ^^!
