Learning new cultures is one of my favorite things to do.
College is a time for new and exciting experiences as well as a time to explore diverse and innovative(创新的)ideas. What could be better than traveling to China to learn about their ideas, history, and culture? I believe studying abroad is something that every college student should do to help to expand his or her horizons, and to appreciate everything the world has to offer. I spent the first eight of my early years living abroad in two countries. From this rich period of growth, I acquired an identity as a global citizen, and the skills to independently navigate life in a foreign culture. It seems appropriate to support my next jump in life with an abroad experience that will show the directions in which I have grown since my early years, as well as provide a unique context for exploring the limits of my education.
Here is an undeniable advantage to living and studying in China; to be submersed in (投入)the Chinese life is the only way to fully understand and learn about how the country impacts and is impacted by the rest of the world. Not only am I learning about China, but I have also come to appreciate other countries in the world from a different point of view. Being in China has given me the change to learn in a different environment, and I do not think there is any better way to learn the culture than to actually be there. I have a very strong admiration for the Chinese language, people, and culture. I will continue to apply my newfound knowledge to my entire life and the way I look at the world around me.

How to Strengthen Your Willpower
Researchers find willpower is like a muscle—it may get tired from over use. So, if it acts like a muscle, can it also be strengthened? The answer is YES. 1.
1. Ten minutes of reflection
Reflection will give you the fater results. 2. Researchers show that after just 2—3 days of practicing thinking for 10 minutes, your brain will be able to focus better, you will have more energy, and you aill be less stressed.
2. Work on your posture
Work on your posture for a 2-week period. Every time you catch yourself slouching(懒散), correct it by sitting up straight. This simple practice can vastly improve your perseverance.
3. Use your opposite hand
Select a chunk(块) of the day to use your opposite hand. 3. And from personal experience, if you aim for more than an hour, you will unnecessarily tire out your willpower muscle.
4. Correct your speech
Change your natural speech. 4. Again, it takes willpower to consciously go against your instincts. It doesn’t matter how you correct your speech, as long as you change natural speech habits.
To get started, select a chunk of the day to practice and choose the words you will change. Personally, I tried not using contractions during work hours and it worked very well.
Above are some effective ways to strengthen your perseverance. Do not try to do all at once. 5. You should start small and gradually build up as your muscles get stronger.
A. Training your willpower muscle is like training for a marathon.
B. This even includes resisting the urge to say “hello” instead of “hey”.
C. You will be more mentally strong.
D. With the right practice willpower can be strengthened.
E. It can make your brain focus and resist the urge to wander.
F. Be more conscious of your automic decisions.
G. It doesn’t need to be more than an hour in order to get results.
