The United Kingdom was my dream destination from childhood. My image of England was always full of admiration. I began following English football in my early teens, just a little bit before learning the English language from the BBC. Getting a real chance to actually stay and study there was a dream come true for me.
Although the first few months overseas were tough, things gradually got better. I adapted to the British way of life. After a while, everything was fun and fabulous. My studies went smoothly as planned; living in London was also enjoyable, too. Finally, I graduated and obtained my doctoral degree in 2001. To me, the British education and experience have been highly valuable and forever meaningful.
