Persuasive Essay For Study Abroad

I had the amazing privilege to serve as an informal ambassador for my country of birth (Italy), clearing up cultural stereotypes, and creating positive connections between two cultures. I had the joy of meeting people from other cultures. Sharing problems, connecting with cultural differences and similarities gave me the opportunity to learn not only about other cultures but also about local and global issues.

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families.

Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

I believe that our president elect, Donald Trump's decision to ban of immigration and travel is constitutional. The issue we are facing is that Mr. Donald Trump’s request for a law to ban immigration and travel into the United States from seven countries was denied by court to be “unconstitutional”. There are many people who are involved in this issue for example, U.S. citizens,Donald Trump,the federal court,and the seven countries that were to be banned. Which are Iraq,Iran,Syria,Yemen,Sudan,Libya, and Somalia. This issue is very important because according to “www..law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182” whenever the president finds that an entry of any aliens or any class of aliens into the U.S. would be determined to the issue of the U.S.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

My interest in studying abroad stems from my unique experiences as a Taiwanese American growing up in Texas with practically all of my relatives living thousands of miles away from me. Starting from my first summer, and almost every summer after, I flew 15+ hours to see my relatives. I had the opportunity to experience night markets, new scenic views, and a completely different culture. With each visit, my love of traveling grew. I knew that I wanted to travel as often and to as many countries as I possibly could.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.

Whenever I asked older students or alumna what they regretted most about college, the number one response I would hear involved their disappointment in not studying abroad and experiencing the culture and academic challenge it offered. There responses remained with me as a reminder that there was more out there to experience than a classroom in the middle of Minnesota. However, many factors played into my decision to study abroad and ultimate acceptance into a study abroad program in Ireland, and did not come without its challenges. I am a biracial, first-generation college student, and a second generation American on my father’s side. It was difficult enough to urge my father to support me going to college, much less one that was two hours away; you can probably imagine his horror and immediate denial when I expressed interest in studying abroad in an entirely different country, especially when I originally wanted to study in Guatemala. Not only was he concerned about safety but, there remains the concern about financials.
