2 months later, the situations changed so fast and I can only try to grab every possible opportunity. To Apply to those so called "suitable" University is extremely giving me hard time, because of my uncompleted college degree, I only had senior high school graduated transcription, plus 2 years college Diploma.
Eventually, 2 famous University here: University of Victoria, Vancouver, BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology). I was so glad that I can get into these acceptance letters, but later I realized the fact: there are too many Universities and college here, and Vancouver is an immigrants city, these academic programs are specifically designed for the international students and those people who want to immigrate here.
When my life came to this stage, I should really carefully outweigh both my desire and economical side of the future life.
It was difficult for me to make a decision between immigration purpose and go back my home country to find a job. Suddenly, it just liked someone lit a spotlight on me, there is an interest of mind, but for long time, I pursued something else and forgot it. Just at this moment, I saw it!
Interpreter, this is an amazing job for me and because of my passion on English, which is contributed to this interest. I am fortunate enough, there are 2 Universities run relevant programs: Business translation of Chinese - English. I truly believed that if a window was closed, God will open another window for me, only if I can find it and see the view through that window, future is brighten!
I'd like to share this experience because, there are so many international students here in Vancouver, no matter what purpose they have, go to Universities, immigration, working, or just want to stay aboard for a while, the first step is the most important thing, you have to be there than you know what exactly you want.
Don't be afraid, at least you've tried. Don't regret, because what you experiencing here is priceless.

2個月前，我終於決定實現我的夢想，到溫哥華住並完成我的學術目標，一個我在拜訪第一次之後就愛上的城市。
2個月之後，不斷改變的狀態讓我只能抓住任何申請大學的機會，一個我真的適合去唸的學校。整個申請過程真的很辛苦，因為我只有台灣五專的學歴，而不是完整的大學學歴。
最終，2間有名的大學，維多莉亞大學和BC省技術學院接受了我有條件式的入學。我很高興能夠拿到入學許可，但是隨後我就發現，溫哥華的大學很多，而溫哥華是一個移民居多的城市，多數的學術課程都是專門為了國際學生或是想移民的人設計的。
人生到了這種階段，我應該要小心考慮“想要”和未來生活的經濟效益的問題。
要在移民和回到自己國家找工作是對我來說很困難的決定。不過突然間，似乎有人打亮了燈光，我發現了自己長久以來一直都有的興趣，但是因為我一直在追求其它的事情而被遣忘了。
翻譯員，對於在英文上很有熱情的我而言是一件很棒的工作，而十分有幸的，有2間大學正好就有開設這門中英文翻譯課程。我相信，上帝永遠會在一扇窗關上後，再為你開另一扇窗，只要你能夠找到它，就能看到未來明亮的風景。
我想分享這個經驗是因為溫哥華有許多的國際學生，不管他們的目的是為了什麼，上大學，移民，工作或是只是想要待在國外一陣子，踏出第一步是很重要的，你需要真的到當地了，才知道自己想要的是什麼。
別怕，至少你試了。別後悔，你學到的經驗是無價的。
