Watch out Freshmen

Finally, my recommendations for you guys as well as for the Freshmen starting doing a Blog this year!

I personally think that you should be aware of the following points during your studies in English as well as Blog this year:

1. Learn AWL by heart - I started maybe a little bit too late, but I can recommend learning it, because you will profit from this in all your subjects.

2. Make use of Business Briefs - I used them doing my assignments and I could implement a lot of words in my texts, which I now use more frequently.

3. Make use of online based tools - Our teacher provided us with many helpful webpages, which I always tried to consider doing my assignments.

4. Think in the long run - Always, when I was frustrated by doing assignments I thought of what I want to achieve in my future. Working abroad or even just doing an exchange could motivate yourself. Always keep your goals in mind and I think we all can achieve amazing things. I heartily think there will be a nice placement for all of us in the future.


I might seem a little naive, but I'm thinking that we all can combine fun with work. I personally love traveling and meeting people from all over the globe as I am really open-minded. I am really opened to new things and I took every chance discovering new cultures and mind settings of people.
I was never one of the best in speaking and writing English, I was just a everyday normal guy.

The difference between others and me was the aim of doing something else. Seeing myself being part of a globalized world, overcoming cultural differences and looking for a peaceful world in, which everybody gets a chance doing his or her personal interest in their future jobs.

I want to suggest that you all should go out in the world and discover new things. It will coin all of you even if you would have bad experiences like I had, surviving an earthquake in New Zealand, where over 250 people died. I still took something out of it, friendships with travel mates and local helpers. I could gain so much out of traveling  that I think thats this is the main thing, which I promote.
Starting being impressed after doing my exchange to the United States I came back home as a different person. I gained from funny as well as bad situation language skills and I got more personal value.

Looking into my near future, I would like to combine traveling with doing business in a company in South America or Canada. I think thats what I really want to do. With this goal in mind I will try to achieve reaching this in the next years.

I looked at several other blogs and I could find others, having the same background as I do.

For instance,
Daniel's: http://daniels-super-duper-english-blog.blogspot.com/
and
Cem's: http://www.cem-and-history.blogspot.com/

Especially Daniel's Blog is impressing as he is writing about his experiences traveling to several countries and doing internships there, so doing exactly what I would love to do in my future career.

Ending this, I would like to show you some pictures of me traveling around the world with travel mates.
This might motivate also you also going beyond your own borders.
