First, I arrived here in U.S to Iowa, Upper Iowa University, as a 17 year old teenager, who were just graduated the high school. The America was a whole new book for me, and I expected this country to be just on its movies. But, the first impression was different, since the first place I arrived was Fayette, Iowa.
