But to be honest, when people ask me why I wanted to be an ambassador of my own country as an exchange student,
I guess, I just want to have a story.

A story that one day, if my friends, parents, and children, want me to tell them, I will never get bored of it. Neither do they.
Yes. That never-ending story.
