It is really pleasure for me to go abroad, immersing myself in a new culture and language, getting out of comfort zone; all of these things are always worthwhile. I always dreamed about studying abroad and was trying to make the best decision where I can learn more and more about my major as well as about my future life and finally I decided that the best one would be People’s  Republic of China. I chose to study abroad in China because of its reputation as one of the world’s leading aquaculture producer and I chose Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences because of its reputation as the best school in the country. I felt the institute’s greatest strength was the large number of diverse opportunities available for students including research facilities as well as extra curricular activities, dedicated faculty, the comfortable dormitory, and the friendly community made me feel welcome, safe, and motivated. In fact that the institute of Hydrobiology creates all conditions for students and finds an individual approach for every student. Atmosphere at institute is very friendly and peace-loving, professional approach is solving any problems and all conditions for obtaining good knowledge. 

I also feel honored to have come into contact with one of the finest histories, customs, and societies of china. I experienced the amazing Chinese culture with its lovely peoples and delicious foods. These all things made my life really interesting; there are lots of students that we look like one family, all are so friendly and cooperative. They often tell me interesting things about China and Chinese culture that help me to learn more about Chinese tradition and history.  

I would like to thank Professor Nie Pin for his kindness in accepting my application for PhD and guidance about my study as well as time to time valuable suggestion that make my study and life better and better. 

I don’t know how much more I can say. I learned the language, culture, and history. Aside from that, I learned about myself, what my weakness are, what my strengths are, how to solve problem that I face in life and how to ask for help. I leaned humility, and how important it is to metaphorically and quite literally takes steps towards paths where we might not fully understand the destination. I struggled a lot, and through struggling and preserving and with the help of friends I am able to come out a better individual.
