You might have realized that I haven't come back written for quite a long time. This is because You have to know that's very it is difficult to continue writing on the blog without your encouragement. I'm not as inspired as I am on the in LEC where I've a real exchange with members.

I was seventeen, when I traveled for the first time by myself. I went to the sister town of my country by train. It was a very long trip. I went to Nimes, in the south of France.

I wasn't scared. The My curiosity was more intense as the than my fear.

I stayed there for only two weeks but I felt immediately fell in love with this wonderful town. I didn't know one a single word in of French but I was surprised to notice that I loved the sound of the French language. There was It has a lovely rhythm that I had never heat heard before.

People were friendly and cheerful. The blue sky and the sun was were delicious.

I was attracted by the variety of unknown flowers and trees.
I remember my sadness when I had to go home and I decided to live in France as soon as possible. No matter was the fact I didn't even care that I couldn't speak French.

Back at home my parents and even my friends were horrified but knowing my character they knew what I was like and, it was clear for them that I wasn't joking. When I have something in mind I don't give up When I get an idea I never stop until I achieve it..

Every time I had the opportunity to talk ing around me about my dream to leave my homeland I did it and finally nine years later it was worth doing worth having.

I couldn't believe it! A French person who was working occasionally in Germany asked me if I still wanted to live in France and he offered me a job.

This was the beginning of a new life, today I would never have the courage to do something like that again but I was young, and full of willpower to start a new life.

Do you have alot of willpower?

How does your willpower help you to improve your English?
