Studying Abroad : My Dream Of High School

My house is crowded with my relatives and friends; my friends and family are here me to wish me good luck and safe journey. My heart is full of mixed emotions. I am scared and sad but excited and happy at the same time as it is my last day at my house and in my country. Tonight is my flight to America. I’m moving to America, to be with my husband and to start a new journey of my life. I remember everything from my last day in Pakistan. I have never been way from my house before. I have always been surrounded by my friends and cousins. My friends have always been with me in my good and bad times and I cannot imagine a day without them. I never thought of leaving them. I didn’t realize how my life would change because of a ‘yes’. My childhood friend Sadiq, who moved to America ten years ago, asked me to marry him. Everyone in my family liked him so without thinking of anything else I said yes to him and we got married in a year, when he visited Pakistan. We were really excited to spend our lives together. What I didn’t realize until the moment I was at the airport that I am going to a new country, where I don’t know anyone other than my husband. I’m leaving all my family and friends here in Pakistan. I didn’t know how to react anymore now, I was sad and crying as I entered airport but I also felt happy inside my heart. When I was at the airport with my family, my grandma kept saying to me, “you have to call us at least three times a day when you get there.” My mom said, “Take

On December third, I got ready to come to United State. My bags were in order and my passport with me. The time did not run that was not a piece of cake to me since I wanted to see my family. I went to the airport and I waited five hours on it. When I arrived to Washington D.C, I was enthusiastic. My family was waited me at the airport. When I saw my family, I ran to them and I hug them. It was amazing feelings. My family and I were happy because we finally were together. My father was registration me on VCU. Now I am studying English Language Program after that I will complete my degree to biomedical engineering. I have the best teachers in the world teach my English. This is the last semester in English that will be difficult for me since

Last year was my first year as a college student. After much anticipation, I was finally starting my university career and studying what I wanted. Classes started and everything was okay, but deep down I knew I wanted to study away from home. When graduating high school I had decided to stay, thinking it was the smartest decision since going to college is not the easiest transition and adding going to another country would have been too much for me. But two weeks into my first semester I decided to start my research.

Last years, I was in Iraq, in Baghdad, in my house with my mom and sister. It was a beautiful weather, when the phone rang and my mom answered, immediately the smile became on her face when she heard we would travel to another country. After the phone closed, she came to us and said,¨we will finally travel to United States,let us go to prepare the backpacks, we do not have more time to waste¨these news were amazing, but I became sad that we left my cousin, my friend in Iraq. Next, we prepare to go to the pline, we moved in pline to Ardon, then to Germany, and then to United States. It was a fun trip in airport and also a tired one. Then,

The time I moved to America, as I was in the hostel I got to meet many new people ever. I thought it's not a big deal to adjust in a new country. But it wasn't like that, everything was different here food, clothing, lifestyle. It was very difficult for me to understand what should I do. I thought that my parents will

Many people attend post-secondary school for abundant reasons, some may be for themselves and others for their family. I am wanting to further my education for a list of reasons. First, I want to help my family out financially, due to my mom not being able to work due to lupus. She has been the main driving force behind everything I do knowing that everything that I do might be the last thing she sees. I want to be able to help my parents financially while attaining my dream job from my dream university. I hope to attend Navarro, majoring in kinesiology, during the summer and transfer to The University of Texas at San Antonio for the fall to finish my degree. I then hope to pursue a job as either a Graduate assistant or a high school football

I want to end this story on a happy note. I really do. But I dread me going away to college, leaving Inaara in high school. But I dread the idea of me pouring all of my hard work into this essay and only see the minus on my transcript. But I dread the day I'm going to have to confront Andrew, the kid with aspirations to football in college, about playing lineman instead of wide receiver again next season, signifying the fact that our passing in the morning had truly been for nothing. At least the essay I’ve dreaded for so long is now finished.

How are you feeling, I hope you are doing good. My voyage V was stressful, it could have been better with you. I went to colleges. You could go visit many of them, some have beautiful campus.

Your activities such as sports, clubs, volunteer works, etc… If you qualify in their challenges you are in with them and be a family and graduate, but if not they will throw you out.

When I came to the Arizona, the weather is really different from my hometown, in my hometown the weather is wet in whole year, but here is dry and I like it. In the Arizona the landscape is also different from my hometown, because in China I never see the dessert is a special experience in my life, and I feel really excited.

The school I go to is called ‘The International School Of Macao” or you could say TIS. This is my second week here, I have made a few friends, I wish to soon make more. I am really enjoying it here, but the thing is I am missing everyone back in China. I miss all my friends, and especially my parents because I don’t see them as often as I used to. However, my family meets on the weekends. Because I only see my parents on weekends is because I board at the school. Boarding isn’t all that great, but I am getting used to it since I have two roommates, Katie in 10th grade, and Cheryl in 12th grade, they also go to TIS. They are really nice and I enjoy having them as roommates. I am already starting to think of Macao as my new home.

But after a few months I was so used to my daily routine of going to my school, going to my classes, eating at the cafeteria, and living in my compound that it became a second home to me. So when my parents told me and my brother that we were once again moving to another city Al Khobar I was ready to face another change in my life. My new school Dems was more similar to Aisr then my previous school but still had some big differences, first of the campus was a lot older and there were homeroom classes not individual classes for each subject. But again after after constant repetition I became used to the campus, the people, and my life in Saudi. So after two years when I started high school the switch seemed easy and smooth, as I knew most of the people already, the campus was the same, and I was still living in the same

Education is a never-ending learning process that has always been a piece of our life. As education is a building block in our lives, we are eager to put profoundly into our education.

We often visit temples and holy places especially before travelling. During the last few days I visited a lot of temples in Karnataka to seek blessings from the gods I believe in which makes me feel happy and confidant about my future. All my family members were also praying for my safe journey and a good future. I was not really nervous as I was staying in a residential school for the past five years, but my parents were a little emotional and my mom was nervous as I was travelling alone. But I gave her confidence saying that I will be able to manage easily and even my dad convinced my mom. My parents have been supporting me in everything that I do in life. They were there in all of my ups and downs and helping me throughout. I was a little nervous only because I will be going to a totally new place without knowing how things work, but I did manage to get some knowledge through my college blog about the airport and the easiest way to get to the college and that helped me a lot. The blog even helped me pack all the essential things needed and also provided information about the bank
