My Decision to Change Schools

Are you a university student? I am. Sometimes do you want to change the school to another school? I did. My campus life was pretty fun and exciting. But I had an idea that I wanted to go to a certain university I had really hoped to attend. Then I decided to quit school in order to transfer.

When I took an exam for entrance, I received much lower scores than are required. As I wanted to take the exam again, I had to go to another school. That’s why I went to my first school, that is Gyeong-sang National University in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. I really wanted to go to Korea Aerospace University, which is located in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.

I prepared for about one year. After that, I applied. I took an interview and written test at the university. In two weeks, the results were announced! I was very nervous and worried. But I didn’t have to be as I passed it. I was very happy and satisfied with my success.

After that I went to the new university. The new one is more famous in my field than the previous one; thus, I will be able to get a job from a larger range of choices, which will be one of the most important things after I graduate.

I will never regret the choice to change universities as long as I live. If I had a chance similar to the one in the past, I would do the same thing. Now I enjoy my new campus life. I hope I keep doing my best in everything.
