I am one of LZ's friends. Actually, LZ and I went to the same university in China and then exchanged to a certain country for one semester. After we came back from that country, she decided to go to France for further study and I chose American Dream.
LZ went to EM LYON finally, majoring Finance. After studying for 1 semester, she got an opportunity to work as an intern for LOREAL located in Paris for almost 6 months. So she moved from Lyon to Paris 6 months ago. Now, she is going to exchange to Florida University for another 4 months. And two days ago, I just paid the apartment deposit to Florida University on the behalf of LZ.
The point is, life is so unpredictable. As long as you make great efforts, you will realize your dream eventually no matter where you are.
