centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.

　　So just like that，I applied，along with some of my friends，for a master's degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition，the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.

　　This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far，one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship(实习) which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization(CCG)．It's very exciting to work with their team as a researcher. Now I can proudly say that my decision to choose China as a study destination was the best decision I have ever made.
