My big dream is to visit America. Surely, almost every essay you receive contains phrases about how a trip to America has been a dream since childhood. And perhaps this seems banal and cliché, but how can a dream be banal? Yes, many dream of getting to the States, and it is not surprising. After all, we all grew up in roughly the same environment. We were influenced by the same culture of Hollywood films, which show cozy American houses and the bustling streets of big cities. But it is not just the mesmerizing locations that attract us in these films, but also the emotions, the attitude toward life, the relationships between people, and the ease of perceiving various situations. American films formed the idea in our minds that there, in distant America, people live differently; they are happy there. After all, how can you be unhappy when you are surrounded by New York—a city of opportunities where all dreams come true, where every street whispers: "You can do anything." Therefore, let someone call me ordinary, but I boldly and confidently declare: "My big dream is to visit America." And in this essay, I will break down why this dream became a goal for me in 2023. 1. My mother works as a teacher at the school where I studied. This circumstance formed a "perfectionist" syndrome in me. I always tried to do everything perfectly and was afraid of making mistakes. This fear often prevented me from trying new things and constantly threw a wrench in my plans. But at some point, I got so tired of missing opportunities due to imaginary failures that I started acting in spite of this fear. Thus, while studying for my bachelor's degree in Kazakhstan, I won a university competition twice and went on an exchange to China for two semesters. Later, having graduated from university with honors, I won a government grant to study for a master's degree in China, where the Chinese government covers all my expenses, and as a bonus, I receive a monthly stipend. Unfortunately, due to the epidemic, I was unable to visit China for a third time. I also had many doubts and fears regarding the Work and Travel USA program. But now I am in my penultimate year of my master's degree, which means this is my last chance to become a participant in Work and Travel USA. So, push aside all fears and move forward. Try and do everything that depends on me for the sake of my goal. 2. After my trip to China, I discovered new feelings, emotions, and a new worldview. I realized that you truly bond with a new city or country only after living there for more than 2 months. During a 10-day vacation, you don't have time to form a spiritual connection with a place. Yes, you certainly learn something new, have fun, and have a great time. But I always want to get to know a place better, make friends with it, and discover its hidden, non-touristy sides that are saturated with the real life of the locals and centuries of history. Walking along the streets and thinking about such things, I experience feelings close to being in love: butterflies in my stomach, a smile on my face, and my feet just carry me as if on wings. I want to experience these emotions again; I want to get to know America, make friends with it, and fall in love with it. 3. While studying for my master's degree, I also work as a manager at a local coffee shop. To tell the truth, I would never have thought that I would connect my life with the catering and service industry, but this job has touched my soul. When the whole commotion with the epidemic started, borders closed, and it became unclear how soon I could continue my studies in the Celestial Empire. In order not to waste time free from studies, I decided to find a job that I could combine with my studies. Friends advised me to try working at a Starbucks coffee shop; the work is not difficult, and the schedule is very flexible. At first, I didn't take this job very seriously and ignored career advancement in every way, as I thought I wouldn't stay long, thr

Student Exchange Program – My Personal Experience, Aspirations, Hopes, and Dreams Since early childhood, I gradually learned about the United States as a large, multicultural country where the most popular international language in the world is spoken. In my opinion, this impression should be the first for every person and is a correct step in beginning to expand one's own boundaries, debunk stereotypes, and engage in cultural exchange within the framework of student exchange programs. At the age of 4, I learned that my dad, who worked in the gold mining industry, was gifted a trip to America. He went to the state of Nevada and visited Las Vegas, among other places, from where he later brought back many souvenirs that made me incredibly happy as a very small child. Back then, I realized it was very far from Khabarovsk, and I immediately became interested in what kind of place my dad had visited! Along with this, I was at home, attending kindergarten, and my mom was always with me—an English teacher by education and profession. When I was 4, she gave me a large children's Russian-English dictionary called "For the Little Ones," and I learned my first word at age 4 – butterfly. Yes! My first word in English was "butterfly." I repeated the word after my mom, who also emphasized the American pronunciation of sounds in all words and articles during informal communication with me, and the English alphabet had been something natural to me from an early age thanks to "The ABC" song. My mom always insisted on having the correct pronunciation because it is, in fact, a quite powerful way to also immerse oneself in the country's culture at a confident pace. Through this combination of factors, a foundation was laid for my desire to learn about foreign cultures and languages, a foundation for the desire to understand, first and foremost, American society and its culture, because the emotions, desires, and expectations gained in childhood are the most powerful in all of one's subsequent life! By a twist of fate, at the age of 13, I ended up in a school with in-depth English studies and a mandatory second foreign language – Chinese! I was a little scared of the fact that I would have to learn Chinese, but I decided that since I had started, I would do it with immersion in the culture, pronunciation, and traditions of the native speakers, just as it was with English in my childhood. At my school, there was an intern – a future teacher of English and Chinese, who temporarily taught me Chinese. Surprisingly, it was from her that I learned about many features of the Work and Travel USA program when I was 14, as she herself was a participant from Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Then, already knowing that I would definitely go to the United States for cultural exchange someday, I became even more inspired. I watched movies in English, studied the history of the USA from the time of the 13 colonies up to today, studied the American spirit of the fight for freedom and justice, and played games where, I think, I felt the spirit of America in the 1940s and 50s. Back then, I became deeply imbued with the idea of visiting the USA. I really want to know what a large multinational nation talks about and how it lives, what features of mentality people have, and what I could note for my future life during informal conversations that will touch upon the features of life in both Russia and the United States. I have always been attracted by the spirit of freedom, being a fairly independent person since childhood; I want to feel it for myself, meet local residents and make friends, adopt life experience, and implement the valuable, best things that I will receive during my trip around America, because only by physically being in the environment can one catch the subtle cultural nuances that a person can hardly find information about on the internet. Only by being in the environment can one dispel myths, verify the existence of certain well-known features, and feel the spir

Let's start with the fact that the highly hyped Work and Travel program touched me too. Surprisingly, it was my father who first brought it up: "Alibek's daughter recently flew to America, why are you still sitting here?" 😒 To understand, in Kazakhstan we have an expression: "A Kazakh without showing off is a pointless Kazakh." 😎 Well, since Dad said it had to be done, it had to be done! From that moment on, I didn't exactly dream of it, but I did want to change my Chinese surroundings for something new. After arriving for my studies, I started convincing my boyfriend to go on the trip, and while I was describing the charms of this program to him in vivid colors, it turns out he had already started collecting documents... 😑 "Well, I actually wanted to go last year," he told me. While I was about to make my traditional offended face, he didn't hesitate to shove the contact of Saidakbar, an agent from Interexchange, into my hands. That's how I became a newly minted participant in the program. 🙌😁 🔸Where do you think we wanted to go? All these years we've heard that people who go to work in Alaska make big money 💲💲💲, enough to buy a house and a car for their parents. So we started dreaming about the northernmost US state, that we would work 20 hours a day standing at a table, cleaning fish)) But as it turned out, that work is no longer available. 😅😅 Registration, collecting documents—none of that was difficult. All that remained was to wait for job offers, which just weren't coming. When asking others if they had received a job offer, everyone would answer in chorus: YES!!! Naturally, so as not to lose face, we also said that offers were pouring in, we were just waiting for the best one. 😅 🔸Fortunately, for losers like us, they invented a job fair where you can consider different job offer options. For some reason, our choice fell on Dunkin'. Well, not for some reason, we all know the reason. (Drumroll 🥁)…. DONUTS!!! 🍩 After submitting our application, we waited for the scheduled interview, which fell during the winter holidays ❄. To our surprise, it went very easily and simply. Next came the program payment, visa receipt, and preparation for the trip. 😉 🔸Getting a visa in Shanghai, especially this year, was quite difficult. All my friends were getting rejected for various reasons 🤷‍♂️. For example, they told my boyfriend: "You're not Chinese?! Apply through your own country" (the fact that we are studying in China apparently means nothing at all) 🤔 In the end, he got it, but in another city. ✌ ❗If you don't manage to get the coveted stamp on the first try, don't lose hope! Keep trying! I have a couple of acquaintances who waited for the phrase "Congratulations! Your visa approved!" ONLY ON THE THIRD TRY! 🔸I was much luckier. On the advice of my agent, while looking at the stern face of the consul, I imagined that he was actually a very kind guy 🧔🍻 who loves to have a few beers with friends; perhaps he is even the life of the party, without whom no fun event is complete 👍😃✨. 🔸Thus, his face was no longer as intimidating to me as it was at the beginning, and the interview went as smooth as butter.

My big dream — to visit America Surely, in almost every essay you've been sent there are phrases that a trip to America has been their dream since childhood. And perhaps it already seems banal and hackneyed, but how can a dream be banal? Yes, many dream of getting to the States, and that is not surprising. After all, we all grew up in roughly the same environment. We were influenced by the same culture of Hollywood films that show cozy American houses and the busy streets of big cities. But these films attract not only mesmerizing locations, but also emotions, attitudes to life, relationships between people, and an ease in perceiving various situations. American films have formed in our minds the idea that there, in distant America, people live completely differently, that they are happy there. For how can one be unhappy when you are surrounded by New York — the city of opportunity, where all dreams come true, where every street whispers: "You can do anything." So, let someone call me ordinary, but I boldly and confidently declare: "My big dream — to visit America." And in this essay I will lay out, point by point, why this dream in 2023 became my goal. 1. My mother works as a teacher at the school where I studied. This circumstance formed in me the "overachiever" syndrome. I always tried to do everything perfectly and was afraid of making mistakes. This fear often prevented me from trying something new and each time put obstacles in my way. But at some point I got so tired of missing opportunities because of imaginary failures that, despite this fear, I began to act. Thus, while studying for my bachelor's degree in Kazakhstan I twice won a competition at the university and went on exchange to China for two semesters. Later, having graduated with honors, I won a government grant to study in China at the master's level, where the Chinese government fully covers my expenses and, as a bonus, pays me a monthly scholarship. Unfortunately, due to the epidemic, I was unable to visit China for the third time. I also had many doubts and fears about the Work&Travel program. But now I am in my penultimate year of my master's, which means this is my last chance to become a participant in Work&Travel. So all fears aside and only forward. To try and do everything I can for my goal. 2. After the trip to China I discovered new feelings, emotions and a new outlook. I realized that you only truly become close to a new city or country after you have lived there for more than 2 months. In a 10-day vacation you don't have time to form a soulful connection with a place. Yes, you undoubtedly learn something new, you enjoy yourself and have an amazing time. But I always want to get to know a place more closely, befriend it, discover its hidden and non-touristy sides that are soaked in the real life of the locals and centuries-old history. Walking the streets and thinking about such things I experience feelings close to falling in love: butterflies fly in my stomach, a smile appears on my face, and my legs just carry me as if on wings. I want to experience these emotions again; I want to get to know America, befriend it and fall in love with it. 3. While studying for my master's, I work part-time as a manager at a local coffee shop. To be honest, I would never have thought I would tie my life to the food service and hospitality sector, but this job touched my heart. When the whole fuss with the epidemic began, borders closed and it became unknown how soon I could continue my studies in China. In order simply not to waste the time I had outside of study, I decided to find a job that I could combine with my studies. Friends advised me to try working at a Starbucks café — the job is not difficult, and the schedule is very flexible. At first I did not take this job very seriously and in every way ignored career advancement, because I thought I wouldn't stay long, at most three months, and then my beloved China would be waiting for me!

Student Exchange Program – my personal experience, aspirations, hopes and dreams Since early childhood I in one way or another gradually learned about the United States as a large, multicultural country where people speak the world’s most popular international language – in my opinion, this impression should be the first for everyone and is the right step at the beginning of the desire to expand one’s own boundaries, dispel stereotypes and engage in cultural exchange within student exchange programs.

It is 2019, and I am 21. In 20 years, I will be 41, crazy! On this same day in 20 years, my son and I will be choosing the subjects he will take for his final exams. He will already have a year behind him spent in America through the Flex program. Will he go to America through the Work and Travel USA program in college? I think he will decide for himself. And why specifically America? Maybe he will want to go to Europe. It is worth thinking about whether the Work and Travel USA program will exist in 2039. With 100 percent certainty, yes. Which destinations will be popular? With 100 percent certainty, America and China. But let's dream a little! The most popular destination for the Work and Travel USA program is Russia. It hosts about several hundred thousand students every year. Going to Russia is the dream of the whole world; every schoolchild studies with the thought that when they become a student, they will have the opportunity to see Red Square, the Hermitage, and the Tretyakov Gallery. Everyone in the world is learning Russian, as it has become international. Being proficient in Russian is a huge plus on your resume; if you are a native speaker, you get hired abroad without an interview—such people are definitely needed by everyone. Russia is becoming the place where all the world's minds flow. It is excellent soil for building a business; entrepreneurs from all over the world keep their assets in our country, as it is more reliable here than in their homeland. What happened to IEC.Exchange? They made an incredibly creative, convenient, and awesome website (not Artemy Lebedev). More and more students dream of traveling to a different country every year and exchanging experiences with new people. Participants in such programs are treated loyally at the embassy, and 95% of visas are approved. What is happening with the town I was in in 2019? Still a small population, J-1 Visa students everywhere, and our resort is the most desirable to visit in all of America; houses are booked 5 years in advance. What is happening with Orel, my hometown? I opened a private school where instruction is conducted in English. They started building a subway, although back in 2035, but one station is already there, waiting for the second one—we will live well! By the way, the airport is already working; last weekend I flew to Kazan. Yes, yes, to those very friends I met in America. I don't handle flights as well as I did back in 2019. Age, you know.
