ANSWERS
Several months ago I had to decide whether to get higher education abroad or locally. You can't even imagine how painful the process was. But now I think that this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. One day my parents and I were having dinner when suddenly they told me it was time to start thinking about my future and (this is where the nightmare began) that they were ready to pay for my education abroad if it was what I really wanted to do.
At first, I was on cloud nine, but then I started agonizing over the decision. I asked my friends what they would do if they were given such an opportunity. Needless to say, opinions differed wildly. Then I made a list of pros and cons and analyzed all 'what-ifs', which threw me into doubt all the time. I also read a few articles about education abroad and even tried to consider job prospects in different countries.
I struggled to make a decision because my future was at stake. And, of course, I was afraid to suffer consequences of the wrong choice. It was difficult to imagine what living abroad would be like. Also, I realised I would have to leave my friends and family behind.
After a great deal of thought I decided to seize this opportunity as it's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't. Now I'm planning to study in Canada. Of course, the outcomes cannot be accurately predicted yet, but now I'm sure I've made the right decision because I've talked to some people who already study in Canada, and they told me about their experience. So I will study in one of the best colleges in Canada. It's a really great step to a more secure future. I'll start a new life, develop new habits, meet many interesting people, and grow as a person. I'm still a bit worried and fear disappointment but at the same time look forward to this change.
