Victor: Have you ever thought about studying abroad?
Tom: Yeah. I could have. 
Tom: But I chose not to.
Victor: Why?
Tom: Family, friends, love
Tom: Moreover, I just can't imagine myself living my youth in a different country. Surrounded by different cultures. Communicating with people in English on a daily basis.
Victor: Haha. It's the same with me.@2
Victor: I appreciate the possibilities which I would get.
Victor: After all British universities are far more prestigious than ours.
Victor: But I just wouldn't be able to overcome the homesickness and missing my family and closest friends.
Tom: Poland is not so bad of a country.
Tom: Our generation has pretty good perspective right now.
Tom: Life here can be great too.
Victor: Yeah. I meant studing abroad, not emigrating permanently.
Tom: For me there was too many 'cons' while thinking about it when I was 18.
Tom: I wasn't ready then for such step.
Victor: My sister is now having exact same problem
Victor: On the one hand, she would like to leave in order to gain vast knowledge and study on higher level
Victor: But on the other hand, she doesn't want to leave family and friends.
Victor: She's afraid she won't be able to handle life on her own yet.
Tom: Oh, I know this feeling. But you won't be able to help her. She has to make that decision alone.
Victor: I know. It's just I want to help her, but I don't know how.
Tom: She has some time left to make that choice.
Tom: Leave her be. 
Victor: Maybe you're right. It bothers me. That's all.
Tom: Everything's gonna be fine. You'll see.
Victor: Thanks man.
Tom: :)
Tom decided not to go studying abroad. Victor's sister is thinking about it and he wants to help her make the right decision.
