    A Failed Experience

    For many years,I have waited for the opportunity to travel to the foreigner. Until in my
    fourth semester of the university, I was up for a chance to do study abroad. I felt at that
    moment that my life would change completely and that maybe I would stay to live a long
    time in that country.

    In that moment, I felt very excited but due to some time constraints and a lot of mixups, I
    delayed in doing the application for the scholarship. So when I went the office to present
    the application, the secretary told me that it was "too late" so that I was forced to spend the
    semester in my university. During all semester, I was absolutely devastated. I had built all
    my hopes up of spending my semester in abroad, and dreaming about how magical it
    would. Happily the time passes quickly and heals all. So I sweared to myself that I would
    be ready for the next opportunity that comes my way.

    On the other hand, my university had a program where every top ranked student from fall
    semester was given a scholarship for a study in Italy during the summer. Happily I ended
    up being one of the two students to receive it. That summer I spent one of the best trips of
    my life: studied some Italian, went on amazing excursions and made some of the best
    friends I've had until now. Interestingly, I used to wear hats there, but now I don't use them
    anymore.

    Undoubtedly, if I had done study abroad my fourth semester, I would never have met great
    friends and enjoyed good trips in Italy. Besides I got a great motivation after that failure
    which made me get that scholarship otherwise I would not have had the opportunity to be
    included in the student ranking to get the schoolarship.

    Overall, one of the "worst" things to happen to me ended up being one of the best. I would
    never give up the joy and wonderful experiences I had that summer. Looking back, I am
    beyond thankful that my opportunity for study abroad never worked out. Because by the
    time my opportunity to travel abroad disappeared, I had already got another one.
