Challenge is hard thing to face with in life. No one can avoid it or you will see it once in life. My big challenges began when I came to the America. This event changed my life such as language, school, friendship, etc. To me, this event was new life. I was sad and cried when I have trouble. From these troubles, I had more experiences than before and made me more confident to face with another challenge.
When I came to U.S.A., in my mind, I thought a lot of plans for new life. First, I would learn English. Second, I would graduate high school and looking for job. I never thought that I would go to college because of English. These plans sounded really easy but it was not to reach. English was not easy to learn because it had a lot of words and grammars. My story began when I said to my mom I would gave up. Then, my mom advised, “You do not try how you know you can’t do it?”
I said, “Mom, English is not easy to me because I am not good in leaning a new language.”
Mom said: “You came to America; English is an essential for you.”
Mom continued: “If you don’t know English, you will be as a silent person.”
Finally, I told my mom: “I understood mom, you are right, I will try my best.”
After two hours, I obeyed my mom and went to school. My aunt and mom took me to school and registered for class. I felt worried because it was also my first day of school. Then, I went to class, the counselor registered for me in ESL classes. I looked around realized that everyone came from different countries and right now I felt relief because I was not different from another. Then, the teacher was nice to me and talked slowly. She asked me, “Where are you from?”
I answered: “I am from Vietnam.”
The teacher asked, “Did you learn English from Vietnam?”
I said “No.”
She asked me with some simple questions, that I realized that she wanted to check how my English. Then, she gave me a book and told me to go home and look at it. Sometimes, she acted by hand to make me understand what she was talking. Right now, I felt comfortable and not stressed anymore. I suddenly remembered to my mom’s words to me, I felt it was right. It would not be a big challenge if you thought it was. I felt I was lucky because everything came to me luckily.
I never thought that I would go to college. My plan was I graduated from high school and looked for job. In my senior year, I knew the program about financial aid and I applied for it. At the end of my senior year, I had result that they approved to pay fees for me if I go to college. I was happy because my family would not worry about my study fees. In my mind, I planned my major. Right now, I still do not believe that I go to college. Coming to America, I changed to a new person and learned how to face with trouble. I was not a kid anymore. Life makes me become a responsibility person. I realized that family is major element to make me stand up and passed every challenge. I still remember all words my mom said to me. It will not be hard if you try it. It’s true.
