Leaving my last week in AL

This Saturday and Sunday are my last weekend in Alabama. Since this is my "last" writing in the blog, I want to write how I came here and the things I'd learned here by studying abroad. I have been in here, Alabama since May to study abroad. Before coming to the U.S, I really worried about myself whether or not I can learn enough English fluently, moreover living alone without my family. Also, it costs a lot of money to study abroad in the U.S; for that, some of my friends usually go to Australia, Philiphine, or Canada- where it costs less than the U.S, so this fact-learning English in the U.S-was also a heavy burden on me. If I don't study hard, my parents would be dissapointed on me. Therefore, studying abroad was a "challenge" for me.

However, I've learned so much valuable things by studying abroad. I learned how to handle difficulties by myself; I always used to rely on my family or my friends although it was a easy thing to solve, and by living alone, I realized how my family and my friends are important for me. Also, of course, I learned how to study English effectively by learning in ELI which was well organized. Moreover, I got my dear life-partner who is going back to Korea with me;) From the first,both of us planned to go back to Korea on December;yet, now we're going back together ;)

After I go back to Korea, I will continue to study English. Learning in ELI was definitely a valuable time for me to study English effectively. I really appreciate all of the ELI teachers and classmates. When I first meet a person, it is little hard for me to speak friendly, however I got so many nice people and friends from all over the World. Let me know your e-mail to keep in touch with you! Thank you for everything ;)
