Living away from your country can be a really interesting and unforgettable experience, but at the same time it has very important effects on your life．

       The major effect, and also a very common one, is that once you start a regular life away from home, you miss everything．This fact doesn't mean that you are unhappy but that you are aware of being on your own．Missing your family and the attention they all paid to you is a very unusual thing．Little details like sitting on a Sunday morning watching TV alone instead of helping your dad organizing his things or having a nice chat with your mom makes you realize how valuable your family really is．It's clear that you have started to appreciate everything you had before．

       The second main effect is that you may learn how to accept another type of society and culture into your daily life．Since you are living in a place with different customs and traditions from yours, you have to be able to develop yourself in unknown conditions．This means making new friends, learning other points of view, accepting different opinions and values, and seizing every opportunity you have to go to new places．Therefore, you'll be able to achieve true knowledge．Suggesting to change your mind totally would be foolish; the best thing to do would be to stick to your most important values and then change those that you believe could be improved.

       The most important effect of living away from home is the independent Behavior（行为） that grows inside of you．Living on your own far from your family gives you a lot of experiences toward organizing your life．Since it is up to you and no one else to go to school, clean your room, wash your clothes, and organize your expenses, it is certain that you will have a good and strong sense of responsibility．Being independent and responsible will help you get through life．

       Living far from home, even for a short period of time, can be really hard at the beginning．We have to remember that all changes are difficult but it is necessary for us to go through them to build our character．Most important of all, it helps us appreciate everything we have．

．Elizabeth had great trouble in finding a school to attend. No medical school would accept a woman student. So she studied by herself at first. She was helped by a few doctors who did believe that women should have the same chance to work as men did.

In 1847 she asked to be accepted at a small medical school in New York. Largely as a joke, the school accepted her. The teachers and students were all men. They waited for Elizabeth to make a fool on herself and then go away. But Elizabeth felt she could learn anything a man could learn. And she proved it. No one laughed at her. The jokes stopped. But none of the town-people would speak to her. They thought she was wrong to study medicine.

As a student, Elizabeth helped treat sick poor people during her summer holidays. She found out that she had much more to learn as she tried to help them. "I must learn more." She said. "There is so much work to be done among the sick. Somehow I must get other women to help me!"
