Exchange plan

I’ve made up my mind to study abroad as an exchange student when I entered NCCU. My aspiration of exploring the world had formed since I was little but it was then just some naïve imagination of a little girl after seeing beautiful landscapes and sceneries on TV. Growing up, my interest in international affairs grew stronger and the crave as well. However, I also gradually realized the cruel truth that exploring the world costs a lot of money and that I can’t simply asked my parents for it and get it. To fulfill my dream, I have to count on myself. Luckily, NCCU OIC has been working on exchange programs and provides many opportunities for its students. In addition, the senior students in the department of diplomacy have no compulsory courses so we can plan the year as we wish. Through exchange program, the cost is cheaper since we only have to pay for the tuition of NCCU, compared to enrolling in German schools. Besides travelling Europe, I certainly have more plans for the year, though traveling is definitely the thing I look forward the most. The priority is to improve in German, which I have studied two years in NCCU. I believe I’ll have a lot of progress when exposed to the environment where I encounter German on daily basis. I will also take some English-taught courses in the university, which, I believe, will focus in management. Although management is quite different from what I’m studying in Taiwan, I’m convinced that it’s a very general and useful subject; it is very likely to benefit in some ways.
