Courage

Abstract

I have spent most of my life studying abroad. I finished high school in Norway and then came to the University of Oklahoma to further my studies. Since I am already abroad, I never thought of doing a study abroad until one day when a friend approached me about it. We literally filled out the application three days before the deadline. I was anxious and had limited time to finish my entire application and get the required recommendation letters from my professors. I could not believe what I had done until I was on a plane headed to South Korea. I was really going abroad once again!

I was excited, yet nervous, even though I am used to adapting to new places. I did not know what to expect from South Korea since I did not know much about the place except what I have seen in Korean dramas. Today, looking back at all the memories, I am so glad that I chose to go there. I not only made more international friends, but also learned a lot about Korea and the people.
