A major goal of the China Dreamblogue is to create educational opportunities for students who may not otherwise have the chance, and as a part of this, we are creating possibilities for students to study abroad at US and UK Schools as well as other places. As a part of our journey, we will be giving away approximately $24,000 USD (￥186,000) in scholarships from America to qualified applicants looking to make their educational dreams come true.

Living in a foreign country is difficult, and often students need guides. Here, you will find guides written in Chinese about preparing for study abroad, learning about the US and UK foreign culture, and preparing for the strange and interesting experience of studying abroad and living in a foreign country.

Jacky, one of the loyal dreamers of this blog, has made a decision to prepare for studying abroad in the US in hopes of earning an MBA from Calpoly’s MBA program. I’ve asked him a few questions about his dreams with us and why he has chosen to study abroad.

David: Why do you dream about studying abroad?

Jacky: I want better education opportunities, and I think universities in UK and USA can give me this.

David: Why do you want a MBA?

Jacky: My father has a factory that is neither big nor small. And my dream is to help him to develop it into a big, international company. I hope that I will learn how to do that from the MBA program.

David: What is your dream for your family?

Jacky: I hope my father and my mother has a good and relaxing life after I come back from abroad. I hope that what I do will support all the spending in my family’s daily life. What’s more, I really just want them have a happy life.

David: What about your community?

Jacky: I’m from Foshan, a city near Guangzhou. I think my city now is a wealthy city and full of opportunities. People living in this city are happy. Foshan City is now the third biggest city in Canton province, behind Guangzhou and Shenzhen. I think it will become more and more popular all over the world in the future. This is a good chance for me.

David: If you wanted to give advice to other people about following their dreams, what would you say?

Jacky: In my opinion, study abroad requires a brave heart. You have to adapt to life in a whole different environment, culture and people. You have to study in a totally different educational system. You have to deal with your homesickness. You have to overcome disconnection from your friends and family.

David: How do you feel about living in foreign country?

Jacky: I think living in a foreign country is exciting at the beginning and is terrible after the first few weeks. When you first arrive, I think you will feel like you are traveling. But when you keep doing the same thing week after week, and there is no one you can talk to, that’s the most dangerous and terrible time for a international student. But during this time you explore your surroundings, and when you get used to it, it will become your second hometown, and you will feel you don’t want to leave.

载梦博客的主要目标是为那些没有机会到国外留学的学生创造机会到加州州立理工科技综合大学和其他国外大学学习。在我们的旅程中，我们会捐出由Cal Poly 提供的186,000人民币的奖学金，让人们能够梦想成真。

在国外生活是一件不容易的事，通常，学生都需要一些生活上的指引。在这里，您会找到如何准备到国外学习、英美文化、在国外学习生活的指南。

Jacky， 是我们博客忠实的一员，他正准备到Cal Poly 学习并打算在那里获得MBA 学位。 他应邀向我们讲述他选择留学国外梦想和原因。

D: 您为什么想到国外去学习呢？

J： 因为我想得到更好的教育机会和条件，而我觉得美国和英国的大学在这方面普遍做得比国内的大学好。

D： 您为什么想获得MBA学位呢？

J： 因为我爸爸拥有一间说大不大，说小不小的工厂。而我的梦想是将他所创立的企业发展成为一所上规模的、国际性的企业。 要很好地把企业转型，只能通过企业架构的改革和改进才能实现。而学习MBA课程能帮助我懂得如何去进行此种革新。

D：您对将来您的家庭还有生活有什么期望？

J：我归国工作后，我希望我的父母能够有一个幸福的晚年，能过上无忧无虑的生活。同时，我希望自己一人工作，全家受惠。

D：能跟我们说一下您现在生活得城市吗？

J：我现在住在佛山。我认为佛山是一个富裕的、充满商机的城市。目前佛山市广东的第三大城市，仅仅排在广州和深圳之后。我觉得生活在佛山的人们都过得挺快乐的。我相信佛山在未来的几年里会变得越来越国际化。我想这对于我来说是一个千载难逢的好机会。

D： 如果叫您给想到国外留学的学生提议一些建议，您会说什么呢？

J： 在我看来，出国留学需要一颗勇敢的心。到了国外，所有事物对我们来说都是陌生的。您要去适应新的文化、新的环境和新的朋友。您要在一个完全不同的教育系统学习。您要去面对对家乡和亲友的思念。 您要去忍受分离的痛苦。

D： 您觉得在外国的生活是怎样的呢？

J： 我认为当您刚到达国外的时候，您会先觉得很兴奋，过了几个星期后，您会觉得在国外生活是一件很糟糕的事。当您刚到达时，您会以为自己是在旅游，您会觉得每样东西都很新奇。但当您每天重复同一样事情的时候，您会觉得这糟透了。不过，我想这种状况不会持续很长时间，到您完全适应了国外生活的时候，您就会爱上您身边的事物，您会不想离开。
