Studying in America

       In China, it is very proud and enviable if a student can study aboard. No one knows how many students don’t enough ability to go to school in China, and they even didn't thought about what it was like studying abroad. Fortunately, I had chance to come to the U.S study abroad and experience the different between china and America’s education. I can’t remember why I chose to come to America, and a person will changed a lot here and you can feel how difference between China and America, at last, you can learn lots of things. Behind this, although I lots of something from America, I also lost something. Therefore, studying in America has made me change a lot.

       First of all, leave my parents made ​​me feel very uncomfortable. Before studying life, I began to study and never left my parents, and also never imagine that I will leave my parents. Everything I have done has been with the help of my parents. One day, I felt my life shouldn’t be like this way, I feel I have to deal with my own life, and then I decided to go abroad. I am very lucky that my parents did not object to my plans to go abroad, and they are very encouraged me and supported me. It makes me very confident, and I believe I can face all the problems by myself. After that, when I came to America, I found living without my parents and family is hard to accept. Anyway, after two years, I have become accustomed to living alone, and also to be brave, be strong. Hopefully, the United States will allow me to become mature.

       In addition to leaving my parents, I have also left behind Chinese’s delicious food. I do not know how people think; I think Chinese food is the best food in the world, and the most delicious food. In China, I really like to eat Dim Sum. Eat street food should be the world's most cost-effective spending. I arrived in the United States, I have a week's time do not want to eat, I think it tastes too single American, no Chinese so many choices, so many skills do not have Chinese food. Fortunately, I was frankly accepted the U.S. food. Now discovered, the United States also has its own unique food. What’s more, I was extremely miss Chinese food.

       Finally, living without friends is very boring. It means that I don’t have any friends in America when I just arrived here and I felt very bored and sad. As what we know, humans should have friends. Specifically everyone should have a good friend. When I just arrived in the U.S, I even don’t know anyone, and I felt hopeless at that time. Living without any friends is sadness. I just really missed my friends in China.  I can go to the movies and good friends, to travel in China. We need to endure, to get used to living without friends. Moreover, I began to make some friends in the U.S, and I also began to feel a little bit better. Therefore, Living without friends is hard to accept.

       In collusion, at the begging of living in the U.S is sad and hopeless, and I don’t have anything and feeling dazed. We need to leave their parents to leave their favorite things to eat, but also to leave a good friend. That's all we need to learn to tolerate and experience. As long as I lived in the U.S, I felt totally different; I can have my new and own life here, just like the flower opening in the summer. I believe that studying abroad can make my life more successful
