My English skills are good based on my country education, but they are nothing to compare with the natives when I came here. The entire things, which I expected before, did not happen in the right ways. I started to struggle with English and communication. Struggling to understand the teachers instructions made me want to give up and go back home badly. A lot of students made jokes of me because I am different than most of them, and could not get along with them. I could not handle anything because I may be too immature for that. I was stressed and needed help from my family and advisors. The school offered an English tutor for me after school to help me improve my skills. Then, I kept thinking positively about my goal to get to college and graduate. Setting my goal and adapting to new culture were all in my mind at that time. I studied all days and explore new places with my new friends. As expected, another door opened for me two month later. I could catch up with my teachers and classmates for class discussions. Good grades and graduation from high school were my great achievements after my struggles. Everything went through smoothly until I had to take a year off for waiting my new immigration status to apply for college. From what I learned about my hard time before, this struggle could not knock me down again anymore. My parents always backed up and cheered on me whenever I suffered stresses.
