Hello everyone! My name is Sofia, and I am a freshman student majoring in [Communications at John Cabot University](http://www.johncabot.edu/academics/communications-degree.aspx).
Rome is my hometown and this is one of the main reasons I’ve decided to keep studying here. The truth is, before [applying to John Cabot University](http://www.johncabot.edu/admissions/undergraduate/how-to-apply.aspx), I visited so many Italian universities but none of them seemed to satisfy my expectations. Last year I was an exchange student in the USA, more specifically in the beautiful Lone Star State, Texas. I attended junior year at the high-school I was assigned to and there I had the chance to be part of the journalism class, which fueled my passion for writing.
Since I came back from my unforgettable experience abroad, I've dreamed of attending an American university and studying something that would lead me to become a journalist. I have always known I was born to become one, ever since making small, handmade books as a child. When I discovered JCU, I was thrilled by the thought of being able to study in a multicultural environment in the heart of my beloved city of birth. A few months before, I would never have imagined I’d actually go to an American university, and look at me know!
The day I decided to [apply to John Cabot](https://netcommunity.johncabot.edu/application-login), I already knew what path I had to follow to fulfill my dreams. I am [studying Communications](http://www.johncabot.edu/academics/communications-degree.aspx) and I could not be more ecstatic. I strongly believe that being able to study at JCU is going to be one of the first steps in a long journey that will eventually lead me to reach all of my goals. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me and I am looking forward to continuing this incredible new adventure.
