Describe something important that you learned from an experience outside of school in the past three years. How will it help you to be a successful exchange student?
I study in KTL, where there isn't much time to spend outside. You have to live here, and we have approximately 2-3 hours of spare time, not including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nevertheless, I think we can count our after-scholar activities as outside of school duty.
So basically, I'm a bashful and not an open person. Therefore, I'm friends only with a small number of people. Now it's a bit complex for me. Because becoming 9th grade, I've got many jobs and solicitudes that cause a lot of pressure on me. For example, the AP program, preparation for the olympiad, FLEX program and my scholar work. I'd started making friends after the first week of studying. Therefore, I want to be more an easy-going person and open up as a person. The FLEX program is an excellent opportunity to become an extravert. That also will help me not to get bored. I'm a versatile person that has interests in most of the discussion topics. Moreover, I can filter people, and that will help me not to make friends with terrible people. Though, I think I will communicate with anyone I meet there. That's because I want to learn a lot about English people's mentality.
Finally, I'd like to say that my current abilities are enough to move for a year and settle down in there briefly. I'm confident that my mental state is good enough to get over it.
