I have always been excited about studying abroad. I would really like to go to the Philippines to study, and if that's at all possible I will, but as of now, that is not an available option. Of the options available to engineering students I would like to study in Australia, Germany, or Italy. I know little about the academic opportunities in these places. I’m most interested in the adventure in Australia, the history in Germany, and many things in Italy. I think that is my top choice. Italy is full of astounding architecture, phenomenal food, a colorful history, and numerous amounts of festivities and traditions. In any of these places I plan to stay a full semester. Unfortunately these have little to do with my personal and professional goals. The benefits of studying in these places are gaining global experience and making connections with people from all over. My personal goals are to return to the Philippines for an undetermined amount of time. I want to go back to the area I was born in and help to rebuild the city into a more sustainable community. Out of the places I have shown interest in studying in, I think Italy or Germany would be the best choices. I chose these two because of how accessible the rest of Europe is. Germany has a strong engineering field and Italy has a strong sense of culture that is important to understand. To achieve these goals, I will continue to work hard in all my classes, research other options, and be confident in the choices I make when it comes to my future. The choices I make even in my early years of college will affect the opportunities available to me down the line, so it is important that I think about all of the possibilities that could come from my choices now.
It is good that you already have a strong mindset on what you want to do after college and where you want to go. I also thought that the presentation about Australia was interesting and I do think that their abundance of natural gases and resources will definitely cause their economy to grow in the future. I think that studying abroad would be the best way for you to go to Australia and see if it is the right place for you. I think that Australia would be near the top of my list for the best international countries to work in because I think the people there would be very friendly and the weather would also be pretty nice in cities near the coast.

ReplyDeleteTh Philippines sounds like an awesome place to go study. I have been there but I have only been to a beach there. The people were very friendly and that is how I would imagine them to be if you were to go to school there also. It is also a great experience just being anywhere in the world. I especially like south east Asia. I have been to a lot of places in South East Asia and there is just some type of feeling you get when you are there that makes one feel very relaxed. It is great.
