Make a big decission

I'm studying Administration Engineer in Colombia; my university demands all the students to speak English very well. I never was aware about this. I knew that I have to do, but I felt scared to leave my family, my boyfriend and all my friends. One day my boyfriend decided to go to china, he wanted to work and know about international commerce, marketing and another process used in a China factory. I was very sad about this; I couldn't imagine my days without him. Suddenly, one day I woke up, I thought, "it's my chance to study English in a foreign country, and this situation will be good for our relationship.” that was the hardest part, made the decision, but it had a long way to walk too. I thought that the time wasn't enough for all the things that I have to do, but I rushed to make all the things, like joined the documents for the visa, searched a good university in Calgary and paid for it.
Now, I'm satisfied with my choice, I have learned a lot and have met nice people. I think the ESL program is well prepared.

You are very brave Monica! Leaving your friends and family behind is a difficult thing to do. Great move for your career though! I think you will learn a lot more studying in a foreign country, let alone the cultural expreience. Good for you for making that decision!!!
