I’ve always wanted to see the World, the whole part of it. The World’s got so many countries to visit, cool places to see, magnificent cultures to be admired, and unique languages to learn. Isn’t that amazing? I’m just a small, small girl in this big, big Earth. And in my opinion, studying abroad is the most interesting and fun way to say ‘Hi’ to the World.
Go to a beautiful country. Study there. Meet some new friends from different countries. Tell your friends about your country, and they’ll tell you the story of their countries too. See the cultures of the country. Visit cool palaces and Voila! Studies abroad, yes, just go to a foreign country and you’ll get sooo many new things to visit, see, admire, and learn.
Haha maybe the reality isn’t as simple as that but you’re with me with this one, right?
And one day my teacher told me that there’s this High School Blog Competition held by CESI (Canadian Education Services International). I have to write some posts about Canada. At first I was wondering what could I write, what’s the interesting side of Canadian education and cultures? I jumped to CESI’s site , read, did some research and in the end I thought ‘Wow! Canada will surely be a perfect country to study!’. You know why? No, no, no, the reason is not because Justin Bieber was born there. Canada has the world’s best universities -University of Toronto, McGill University, Seneca College, Sheridan College, and many many more- so how come I don’t want to study there? Plus, Canada has the most beautiful sceneries I’ve ever seen.
Canada is selected as the number one country in the world. It’s one of the top 10 places in the world to live. Canada is also earned particularly high marks for its access to education.
Education cost in Canada is very competitive. Learning in Canada is not free, of course, but it’s affordable. This one is important, ‘cause money don’t grow into a tree.
Welcoming environment. Canada is a country of immigrants and has both tradition and policy that encourages cultural diversity. Almost all the world’s ethnic groups are represented in Canada. So we can find many different cultures here and it’s just….perfect.
Beautiful environment. Canadians place a high value on their natural environment. There are 42 national parks, located in every province and territory. Students who come to Canada will see the beauty of nature. This one is more than just perfect.
A safe place to study. Canada is famous for its community; a safe, fair, and peaceful. Canada’s crime rate continues to decline steadily since 1990. If we’re going to study abroad, our parents surely will say that safety comes first. Don’t worry Mums and Dads, Canada is safe and sound.
Two languages nation. Canada is a bilingual country with two official languages, English and French. Most French-speaking Canadians are living in the province of Quebec, located in eastern Canada. Woohoo I’ve always wanted to learn French since forever. Maybe I’ll study in Canada, learn French and then go to France with perfect French!
Sound interesting, eh? I can picture myself standing on that Maple Country. I’ll study, meet some lovely friends, and I’ll get some unforgettable experiences that I can tell to my grandchildren.
My dream is to study abroad. Raise your hand if you have the same dream like mine!
Yay! I believe that dreams will really become true.
We dream and we set the aim. We give a try and we pray. We stumble and struggle. We fall but we don’t like the word ‘Give up’, at all. And after all the pain, we’ll finally say ‘Hooray!’, we’ll sing in the rain.
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
See you soon, Canada! ;-D
