The Greatest Achievement in My Life So Far

I am 20 years old now so obviously I have already had some successful experience and some failure as well. But if you ask me what is my greatest achievement, my answer is to have this chance studying in the US.
As my mother is an English teacher in China, I was influenced by her since I was about 6 years old in learning English. So I always get a decent grade in my English class. But as the time past, I paid less and less attention on my English studying. Consequently, my English got worse than the people around me in my university. All of a sudden, I found a notice on the official web site of my university and it said we will have an exchange program with Mansfield University. That is a stimulus for me because I do really want to have the experience of studying abroad to see a different world and simultaneously to experience the difference in culture between eastern countries and western’s. So I became industrious in English class and used almost all of part time on English to remember the new words and to talk to the foreigners in the English corner in my university and my English also progressed rapidly.
At last, I got participated the interview for electing the student who would be in the exchange program. Even though I was a bit nervous at the beginning, I got in the situation soon. I have to say the process was fluent and I caught this chance ultimately! So, where there is will, there is a way!
