I'm going to talk about the time when I received the official notification of my scholarship to join an exchange program in Japan . It was about three years ago . It feels like a long time ago but I can still remember the day quitevividly. At that time , I was a sophomore at university and one day I came across an advertisement for a two- monthcultural exchange programin Japan for students from Southeast Asia . I was really eager to apply for this program . Luckily my application was accepted and I was also nominatedfor a scholarship . So , about 2 months later , I received the letter from the Scholarship Committee informing me that I had been chosen to receive a full scholarship which would cover all kinds of fees and living expenses for me during the program. I think myheart skipped a beatand Iscreamed outloud when I saw the word " Congratulations " in that email . I was really proud of myself to be chosen from hundreds of candidates to win this scholarship . It was definitely the best news of the year . If I hadn't won the scholarship , my living expenses would have been such a heavyfinancial burdenfor my parents , but thanks to the generous grants that I received , I could really enjoy my time in Japan without worrying about the money . To this day I still keep this lucky email in my inbox to remind me of that special occasion .
