Personal Statement: Summer Abroad Program
To exchange one summer to another country during university life has always been my dream. No matter of hearing the exciting summer abroad stories from the people that went, or seeing the amazing travelling pictures they took, all of these have made me determine to join the adventure. This summer abroad program is definitely one of the best things an adventurer could ask for, I would love to go and discover the world.
I chose Italy as my destination, not only because it’s a beautiful country to go, but also because the courses it offers fulfill some of my program requirements. As a commerce student, I am mainly looking for management courses, and Italy has RSM 395(international marketing), which I believe I am a perfect candidate for this course. I have taken an introduction course to marketing, and I did well in the course as I achieved a final GPA of 3.7. I am also taking courses including marketing management and intro to international business this semester. I believe that by the time I take the course in Italy, I will have prepared myself good enough to have a better understanding towards the course material.
Our world continues to become more globalized, companies in all countries continue to invest in international market. I am encouraged to pay attention to everyday world news, because the world is now connected tightly, we are all tied closely with each other. With a month of studying in Italy, there is no doubt that my world view will be expanded a lot more, and the knowledge I gain outside of Canada will further my career path.
To study abroad will definitely become a precious add-on to my life experience. I am expecting to come back home with new perspectives about myself, and a broader view of the world. After I return to campus, I will exchange the traits that I will be gained through summer abroad with the people here.
When I first time came to Canada, I barely spoke any English. It was very difficult for me to understand the class and
