Essay & Composition Writing

Could anyone help me look throught this short article.

I'm writing a short article sending to my school newspaper. It doesn't need to be very formal. In fact, I think an informal way might be better.
Please look through this and correct grammar errors, or, may be, rewrite some of the sentences. Also, if possible, please make some comment about my writing. This's my first time writing an article like this, which I really don't know much about it. Thank you so much.

Did I make the right choice?
Becoming an exchange student? some of you might think it's a crazy idea; why someone who is a “Dek-Wit” would want to be so far away from home, and miss the most important year—M.5—in his high school life. You know what? I once thought like that too. It's not an easy decision at all. In fact, it was the biggest decision I've ever made. But, it is also the best decision too. I've never regret of having chose to spend a year in the the US. It's such a remarkable experience. Imagine yourself staying in a house of a native-speaking family who neither know you nor is a relative or yours. You can berely communicate with them; can't even tell you what you kind of food you like or dislike; and neither do they understand most of what you say(This may sound funny but it's really true). But one day! all these things just seem so easy to you. Now you're not only be able to express your thought but also be able to read and write. Although, my English has improved a lot in a year, I don't want you to think that to be an exchange student is just to learn a language. The most valuable thing I'd learned was, in fact, the culture, whereas the language is just part of it. Also, I got to do things I'll never have a chance to do like made my own schedule, performing a show on a stage, and going to the Prom(the biggest high school dance). In addition, I got to realize that in this world fulled of wars and conflicts, it's so beautiful and so fastinating; and there are so much to learn out there. Lastly, I truely say that a year in America has changed my life. I got to better my English, open my world-view, and make foreign friends. For anyone, who has a strong desire to learn more about other countries and cultures(including language), WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR!, grab this precious chance, and follow your dream. And your life will never be the same.
