How I chose my major

    Have you decided your major yet? Now, when I think about my major, I feel that I am such a lucky person, because of the choice that I made. I remember I have decided different choices in my life that led me to decide on my major.

    When I was a high school student, my teacher asked our class” who knows how to paint?” I answered “I do”. So my teacher suggested us to be art students. I chose to be an art student.

                                             

                                                                Portrait of Mona Lisa

     The art students should  take two university entrance tests. The first was an objects tests, it was about math, biology, and physics. The next was a painting test. After I passed the two tests, I became university student. I would choose my major. I knew my major almost about art, like painting and art history. But I chose a different focus as an art major because of the specialty of my hometown.

 Sapphire

 

    My hometown is Wei Fang city in Shan Dong province. I live in Chang Le which is the first place to find a special stone named sapphire. It different kinds of blue, some look like sky blue, navy-blue and Ocean blue. Sapphire is so beautiful. In China, just my hometown has this stone. I like it. So I chose my major about how to survey the special stone. In my university it is named Jewelry design. I learned about many different unusual gemstones in my university. When I finished my major program, maybe I could have a job about gemstone in China. I am an active person, so I wanted to go abroad to experience other place.

                                                                         Metal

    When I arrived in the USA, I chose the same major-Jewelry. Metal and gemstone have a relationship because when you find a special stone, you should make different kinds metals to cover it. Then my friend talked about our major with me. We think we were so lucky, because we can choose our favorite jewelry.

    Now, when I think about our choices in our majors, I feel they are important for us. I know how to draw so I chose to be an art student. Because of the sapphire from my hometown, I decide to study Jewelry Design. Finally, I want to know much information about stone of metal. So I chose the metal program. In our life, every choices have a relationship and connection, so get ready for your next choices in your life.

A basketball match-Lee

It was a sunny afternoon when my teammates and I went to the basketball court. We arrived very late because we thought we would win the game very easily. We wouldn’t have to warm-up or practice but we didn’t care because we knew it would be an easy game. Soon after we arrived, it was time to play. With the sound of the whistle, the game had begun.

Of course, we got the first point. However, to our surprise, we got some problems. We had too many turnovers. That meant they got many easy points. When the first half was over, the score was 27-17. To our surprise, we were losing. We felt confused and our captain got very angry. “Don’t you feel ashamed? Look at the score! Can you believe it? Come on! Guys! We must win the match! We need to pass the ball more. Don’t shoot until you have a good opportunity. Be careful, and trust your teammates. It’s our time!”

The second half began.

The point guard dribbled cross the court. Suddenly, he passed the ball to the center. He shot, and it was in! After that, we felt confident. We showed our tough defense and become aggressive. We believed that we were the winners! When only one minute was left, the score was 40-40.

Everyone became a little nervous and excited. We wanted to win the match and the opponents also didn’t want to lose. We controlled the time, and dribbled cross the court slowly. At this point, we would not leave any chances to the opponents. The point guard passed the ball to the shooting guard and the center ran along the baseline. He got the ball. He shot! We all watched as the ball flew through the air. The clock seemed to freeze and everything was silent. Tick tock, tick tock. I held my breath and stretched my arms in front of the opponents. It was in! We won!

We were excited. After that, we knew that, at the beginning of every game, we should calm down and try our best to prepare the match. Every opponent should be ready to do their best.  

Lost and found in the zoo

                                                                                      

                         Lost and found in the Zoo

I still remember that day as if it was yesterday, the confusion in my  

mind and all the people around. That was how a nice day became to

be gray.

I remember that I was in the zoo looking for the monkeys with my

mommy and in the next second I was lost. I remember the animals

around, turtles, birds, kings and more. I remember how happy I

felt looking at  things that I had  never seen before.

I was only four years old, too little to talk very well with people and too

scared to talk with strangers. What could I do? Where was my

mommy? These were the questions in my mind that made me make the best

 

decision look for my mom!  

After I took that decision, I started to walk, but that zoo was too big for

my little eyes and everything was confusing for my young mind.

I built up enough courage and decided to go

back to the last place that I remembered I saw my mom, wishing that

she was there too. I felt nervous and confused bit I kept searching hoping I would

find her.

After I ran around for 15 or 20 minutes I was anxious, exhausted, birthing heave

nut with the hope to find my mom.

I saw a lady with a blue dress and curly hair like my mom. Is it her? My heart

started to pound really fast. I yelled “mommy! mommy!” and the lady  turned to see.

I started to cry by the time that her arms hugged me. It was her, it was my

dear mommy who returned to that place trying to find me. She was the

same or more scared than I was.

She hugged me really strong and that made feel safe. I still remember

how much loved and protected I felt when I finally found her, Her eyes were wet,

she was crying but not because she was sad if not because she was feeling that

her heart was back, she had a huge smile on her face showing her happiness to

found me.

 That was one of the many times that I could see how much she cared for

me and she still does it.

Definitely a mother's love is incomparable!!!

My First Visit In The U.S

     When I was a high school student in Japan, I dreamed of going to study abroad. I had never been to foreign countries until I entered in the university. I learned about foreign country’s culture, religion, traditional building through only media. So, my longing for going to the foreign countries had been stronger gradually. One day, I decided that I will go to study abroad in the U.S and improve my English skill in order to communicate with foreigners well. I entered university in Japan after I graduate from a high school and studied English a lot to go to study abroad. Finally, my school offered me an opportunity to study abroad and my first experience began. I couldn’t expect my life in the U.S.

     This was the first time to study abroad in my life. I had never spent much time in a foreign country. When I passed the interview for going to study abroad, I was so happy and excited because my dream had come true! I imagined my happy life in the U.S but I couldn’t expect what will happen in my life in the U.S.

     However, as the day to depart was approaching, I didn’t feel happy and excited anymore. I didn’t expect that I feel these negative feelings because this is my dream! So, I was surprised myself. Instead of these feelings, I was getting to feel nervous and sad because I felt I would miss my country and my friends. I had been getting disappointed gradually as the day when I left Japan is approaching.

     In addition to this, I was insecure about my English skill. I didn’t know whether I could understand what Americans say and if I could respond to their question after I went to the U.S. My Japanese friends cheered me up but my worries couldn’t be taken away. Finally, the day I went to the study abroad came. I got on the plane with my complicated feelings. I should have been happy to go to study abroad, but my feeling was unhappy and fearful. However, when I arrived in the United States, these feelings had been changing gradually.

     When I arrived in the United States, I first felt nervous because I was alone. I had to go to the meeting place where it is in JFK airport by myself. However, when I met other exchange students like me and the university’s staff, I relieved. They were so kind and I realized that our feelings which worry about study abroad were same. They also had same feelings with me. So, I decided to do my best in the United States. Although I still couldn’t imagine my life in the U.S, my new life started here.

     At first, there were a lot of things I was confused about American food and culture.  I couldn’t understand what American say because they speak very fast! I couldn’t tell what I wanted to say to American people because I wasn’t used to speaking English and I was not good at listening. It was difficult for me to communicate with them. I felt irritated and regretful, so I also felt alone. I wanted to go back to Japan. However, American people are very kind and I could make many good friends. They always make me happy. We can’t speak each country’s language, so it is hard to tell each opinion through English. However, this experience was so valuable for me. Now that I have been here for several months and I can enjoy my life in the U.S. I have decided that I will spend this life preciously until go back to Japan. My new life in the U.S will be cherished forever.

My sweet Japanese friend!

Most Memorable Trip

                                                                   -Dandan

                                                                                          

Have you ever heard of " Mohonk Mountain" in New Paltz? Have you ever gone there? I went there with my friends on 10^th of November in the morning. The weather was lovely and warm, and the sun was bright. So we decided to go Mohonk Mountain on that day.

We planned to wake up at 9:00 am, then go up to Mohonk Mountain at 9:30 am. Unexpectedly, we were sluggish in bed until 9:30 am. So, we cleaned up and dressed up in 25 minutes, and drove to the mountain excitedly. Lately, after we picked up the rest of 4 people, we started to hike.

Unfortunately, on that day, there was no bus available to go up to Mohonk Mountain House. We had to go through the forest to get to Mohonk House. The path of the wood thickly covered with many dead brown leaves. We walked on the path of the forest, and made the dead leaves rustled around us. There's a hint of winter smell of the air. I know that means winter is coming soon.

Before we arrived the Mohonk House, we thought we might take the wrong route. When we arrived at the Mohonk House, all of us were so excited. We were planning to go boating at frist, but unfortunately, the place for boating was closed. We all felt very dejected. However, the nice thing was we saw a young couple was taking their wedding photo in front of the lake. It was really romantic. They were holding a wedding at Mohonk House. After they took photos, they went to the restaurant. I think that is the reason why there were few tourists at that day.

Not long after we finished lunch, we proceeded up the hill. By the time we got to the top of the hill, the scenery of the Mohonk Mountain was beautiful beyond description. There was an artificial lake in the shape of a heart and a stone castle. We took a lot of pictures there and we met a couple the husband said that he graduated from SUNY New Paltz 20 years ago. It was amazing!

After we said goodbye to them and went down the top of the hill. We saw a huge and bare ginkgo tree there. The lawn is covered with fallen ginkgo leaves. When Qiqi, Chong, Peter, Winnie and Patrick grabbed a handful of the leaves and threw them to the sky, the picture was awesome.

Although I was so tired after that day, I'm really happy to hang out with my friends at Mohonk Mountain. The air of the mountain was really fresh and it felt good to exercise. This trip became an unforgettable memory in my life in New Paltz.

The way to America

 

                                                                                                                                   --------Xuanwei

  China is my motherland, where I was born and raised for 23 years. I usually considered myself such a common one among all the diligent Chinese students that I had never thought that one day I could study and live in the United State by myself. I have always wondered what it is like on the other end of the earth.

  The day finally arrived when I got the choice to go to United States. The plane landed at the moment when I was in half-asleep-half-awake. Before I knew it, I realized that I had reached to the United States, and I was in a mixed feeling of exciting and nervous. I walked out from the airport, a ray of golden sunshine shined to my face and I felt that the sun was welcoming me there. I was so relieved to finally be here. At that moment, everything to me was more like a dream than reality. I was sitting in a taxi that was shuttling through different streets of New York City. When I closed my eyes the journey from Shanghai all the way to New York City rose in my mind.

  I could see my parents saw me off from home to Pudong International Airport, Shanghai. Along the way, they reminded me to take care of myself and pay attention to my safety constantly. I was a little impatient and I had not realized that the parting was upcoming, until I stepped over the airport’s checkpoint. I did not dare to go back to see my parents, because I was worried that I would cry. However, when I went to the corner, I glanced at them secretly. They were waving to me with smiles and I could not endure my feelings anymore and the teardrops were forming in my eyes. With tears in my eyes, I boarded the plane to Hong Kong.

  After three hours of flying, I suddenly saw the beautiful night view of Hong Kong from the flight’s window. Meanwhile, I felt strong turbulence of the plane and due to such reason it circled for half an hour. At last, we landed safely. I breathed a sign of relief.

  Unfortunately, that night was destined to be a sleepless night. I walked around the lounge of Hong Kong’s airport. Everyone spoke Cantonese that I could not understand. I had to wait until the next morning to board according to the original schedule. But when I heard the meteorological notification from the airport broadcast I started to worry about my next flight. A lot of flights were canceled or delayed because they were affected by a typhoon. The typhoon alert never stops all that night.  What made things even worse was that I got diarrhea. I felt very bad, as the air conditioning was incredibly cold.

  What a tough night! I silently prayed that everything would be OK. Fortunately, I felt better at the next morning. However, my flight had been delayed. I consoled myself that hopefully the fight was not canceled, just delayed. After some hours, I finally boarded the flight to the U.S.

  In the plane, I waited an hour again before the plane took off . I believed that a good gain takes a lot of pain. Although, the journey was so stressful and hard, it is a memorable experience. Under the circumstances, I began to learn how to depend on myself and be optimistic. More importantly, I realized that the care from family and parents means more than what I could imagine to me. I am in the United States now and everything is wonderful. This is the place where my dream starts, I will cherish it and look forward to the future.

Snow for the first time !

I will never forget my first day when I came to the United States of America Last spring in January 2012. It was my dream life to continue my higher education abroad. So I was so exited and happy to begin a new chapter in my life, discover a new world, and meet new people.

After long preparation for visa, the college application, to finish up the scholarship paper, I flew from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in the middle of the night.  Had a13 hour flight. However, I couldn’t sleep on the airplane because it was crowded and noisy. The seats were stuffy narrow and my legs were pushed against to the front seat besides, all the seats in the airplane were full. The airplane was like a sardine cane. Moreover, when the airplane reached the Atlantic Ocean, there were air pockets, which is made me panic. Which, is make it worse I am always scared of flying especially if there are air pockets because it is make me feel sick.  So it was an uncomfortable and unforgettable journey. The relieving moment came when, the captain announced fasten the seats belt. We arrived in the U.S.A at JFK airport in the early morning and the airport was very crowded there were so many planes arriving at the same time. All of them came from countries far a way. While I was on the Escalator and I was going down I didn’t now where to go there were so many lines and there is like million of people waiting in this line to rich the immigration counter.  I was wandering which one should I take? I decided to follow the people from my country who where on my plane.

After waiting one hour in the immigration line and I was sleepless. I finish with the immigration counter lady, and she was very nice lady.  I took my bag from the luggage. Then I found the exit door in front of me and it’s written on the wall welcome to New York.

Finally I went out of the airport and it was amazing I was Staunched. It was snowing and it was my first time to see the Snow. All the land was covered with the white snow. Just Like I had seen it in the picture all that Exhausted and tired that I Felt go a way and I felt relief. Then I realized that not everything in life perfect and nothing is complete every thing have the good side and bad side. At the end what I have learned is that if there are no ups and downs in your life. It means you are dead!

An unforgettable vacation

                                                                                                                                          Freya

               It happened last winter. So far, I can still remember how much bad luck I had. I went to Chongqing, a province of China for vacation for two reasons: to take my TOEFL test, and to see my friends。Who were studying in Chongqing. I wanted to experience college life at my friend’s school. So I went to Chongqing this time. I felt so anxious and look forward to this vacation. So I flew to Chongqing in my holiday.

When the plane landed, it started raining. But I realized that my frustration had only just begun. I was so excited to meet my friends because it’s really long time that I haven’t seen them. Just because of the delayed plane, we missed the last bus, and it was hard to find a taxi.

Finally, we found a taxi but it was very expensive, since the school is far from the airport. The next day we decided to go to Chongqing’s tourist attraction. It was really a happy time with my friends. We were laughing and holding arms on the street. We were eating and sitting together and have a long chatting. It was really an enjoyable noon. But there were so many people there, that we even could not move in the crowd. So, we all grew very tired at last. It was difficult for us to squeeze on the bus, but the road in Chongqing is almost tortuous path. Unfortunately, there was a traffic jam on the flyover, so we waited a long time. Suddenly, we saw a lot of people who were in the front of our bus get off. That bus had broken down. So we waited a long time in vain. I was so tired when we back, but I still think about my TOEFL test, and anxious about it.

Because we were tired, it was hard to stand. I felt uncomfortable and the same with my friends. The second day was finally the TOFEL time. Due to the long distance and unfamiliar environment, I woke up at 7am. My friend drew the examinations room route for me so I wouldn’t get lost, and I arrived at the University of Chongqing early. But there are three campuses of the University of the Chongqing, and I went to the wrong campus! So, I immediately got on a bus to go to the right campus. I only say that Chongqing has a high population, and I felt so worried for I couldn’t get the bus. I was so worried that I would be late. Things are very stressful. I couldn’t take a taxi either because there was less available taxi on the street. There was no suspense of I didn’t catch the exam. In fact, I think I was not late because the start time of the test was 10am, and the time I arrived was 9:57am. In some area this time is still acceptable to get in.

After this awful experience, I decided to escape from this terrible place. But when we were on the way to the train station, the bus had broken down this time. It was so shocking. When we finally arrived at the train station, they told me they had sold out all the tickets to my destination just now. And the next motor car to my destination was at 9pm. It means I would have waited more than six hours, because the time was already about 3pm. I felt so frustrated and upset.

I had no choice to wait, and begin to think of my vacation. Every thing was bad, but the only thing which made me happy was the time with my friends. I love them.                                                                                                      

Getting Trouble In A New Country

Mody

Have you ever gotten lost when you traveled to a new country?

My name's Mohammad, I'm from Saudi Arabia and I'm 20 years old. Since I was a child, I wanted to come here to America, I dreamed of it many times. So often, I would woke up and feel upset because it was just a dream and not real. After I graduated from high school I talked to my father about coming here, but he refused. So, I gave up that time, but after six months my fried that I talked with him in the social media told me that he'll go to America, and asked me why I don't go to America? I asked my father for the second time, and he said "I'll think about it”. One day after he came back from his work I asked him, did you decided or not yet? He answered me that he will let me Go to America. He told me that he talked to his workmate and he explained everything to my father. My father's workmate has a son in the U.S. And before my flight I visited Ali in his house to know him and ask him questions about traveling to America. He explained everything to me and then I went back home.

After I arrived America I felt so excited and little scary. I wondered because there was huge buildings everywhere. At that time it was "Ramadan" and in this month Muslims should fast from sunrise to sunset. I arrived at the Airport at 11AM, and I eat lunch, and I could eat at that time and it was Ramadan because I was traveling and my religion allow people to eat only if they was sick or traveling. And Then I toke a bus to New Paltz, and on my way to New Paltz i was McDonald's, and I said I should to go there tomorrow to eat. After that I arrived in New Paltz and I went to my dorm, and I slept immediately because I was so tired. The next day I fasted. I woke up at 5PM and I decided I should eat soon, I called my friend who's living in Poughkeepsie and asked him where is McDonald's. The problem was that I went from the wrong way and I got lost. I walked maybe for twenty minutes, but I didn't see McDonald's or any other restaurant. I decided to go back because I  for sure that I went the wrong way and I was right. I was so hungry and tired. I tried to stop someone to ask for a ride, but no one stopped. In my country if I raised my hand in the street some people will stop and will ask if I want a ride or am I have a problem, so they will help. after trying to stop anyone suddenly some Mexicans Workers stopped. I was very happy at that time. they took me to near Student Union Building, and they showed me the way to main street. I thanked them and I kept walking. On my way I met some girl, and I asked her how to get to McDonald's. She told me how to get there and we chit chatted until we get to main street. she continued walking another way and I turned to walk down another street until i saw McDonald's. I finally ate and thanked my god.

Then, After I arrived at my dorm, I counted how many hours I spent without eating. It was 31 or 32 hours without eating anything. When I was searching for McDonald's I felt if I didn't eat so soon I’ll die!! It was a horrible feeling. I was a little angry because no one stopped for me, I realized later that I’m not in Saudi Arabia, and many thing could be so deferent. In my country when I got lost I never ask anyone where is the right way and try to find it myself, but here in the U.S it could be so dangerous, and may cause a serious problem. I learned to ask anyone if I got lost to not have a problem. And now before I go somewhere unfamiliar, the first thing that I do is go to Google's Map and print the directions, and take the paper with me. Some things in life you think it'' not cure that problem but, if you didn't pay attention or fix it, it'll case a big problem.  

What do you realize?

                                                                                                                                              Winnie

      If you really want to develop a good friendship, how much effort would you make? If I didn’t experience this event, I never know how the friendship between Kelly and me was and I will never stop chasing those things which not belonged to me. This was the worst day in my life when I went through this school day.

     Like usual, I went to school and did all my work that my classmates ask me to help them. “Winnie could you lend me your camera?” Kelly said. ” “Ok” I said, although I didn’t want to lend anybody my camera. “ And could you lend me your pen?” Kelly said. ” Ok” I gave her my pen. “Thank you, Winnie, you are such a good person because you like to help everybody” Kelly said. “You’re welcome” I said. In that time I was happy because I liked Kelly very much and I wanted to be her good friend but I didn’t know this just the beginning of the nightmare.

     The next day, when I entered the classroom, I heard many people talk about Kelly’s birthday party. “Are you going to Kelly’s birthday party?” one of my classmates asked me. “No, she didn’t ask me” I said. Afterward Kelly heard our conversation, she came and asked me “Do you want to go to my birthday party?” “When?” I asked. “Tonight.” she said.” Ok I will go.” I was excited but Kelly seemed not happy.

     At night, I went to her house. Every classmate was there. Kelly was busy taking pictures with her classmates. I couldn’t concentrate on what people were saying to me because I was waiting for Kelly to take a picture with me. A long time passed and it was the end of the party. Kelly didn’t come to take a picture with me. I was so disappointed but I thought maybe she just forgot to take a picture with me so I went to Kelly and asked her to return my camera and my pen. I thought maybe she heard “camera” this word, she would remember to take a picture with me. But she didn’t come. She came back to her house and looked for my stuff”Sorry, now I can’t find your stuff but tomorrow I will take them to school” Kelly said. “Ok, see you tomorrow’ I said with a disappointment.

     The next day, Kelly said”Sorry, I couldn’t find your pen’s cap but here is your camera” I took my stuff without saying a word because I didn’t like that my stuff was lack of some part. I checked my camera and I saw my camera’s battery couldn’t work. I asked Kelly what’s going on and she just said “I am sorry.” I felt very angry but I didn’t say anything. I heard other classmates were talking about the pictures that Kelly took last night. They all had a good time last night except for me. I was curious about how many people Kelly took pictures with when I came home and saw the pictures online. I just realized that she took the pictures with all the people but without me. Suddenly, I felt myself was so naïve. I had liked her so much and I could bend my backwards for her, but she didn’t care about me at all. I cried very loudly on my bed.

I knew what her feeling was about me. Every time I just pretended not to see the emotional expression on her face that she was not happy with me. I tried to satisfy her and her needs but it was no use. Now I just realize that some things, no matter how hard I tried, still don’t belong to me. Don’t take everything so seriously. Know how to love yourself first and then you will know how to love others.

My Love Story

                                                                                                                                           Lia
                                                             

                 I will always remember last Thanksgiving Day, 2011. I went to Chicago to see my boyfriend. I was excited because it was a long time that I hadn’t seen him.

                 This was my first time to travel to Chicago and I was curious about this city. My friend had told me that there are a lot of beautiful sights, and it was worth traveling to. So I looked forward to it.

                 However, when I arrived at the airport, I lost my way. This time, I was very worried, I still remember the last time I had lost my way and I didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes. Then I called my boyfriend and he told me how to find the exit. Finally, I found the exit and I saw my boyfriend. After that, I hugged him. I really missed him so much because we studied in different states. We usually only get to chat through Skype, so we cherished the chance to meet.

                 After the long trip, I felt very tired and he took me to have dinner. When we finished dinner, we came back to the hotel. At this time, the room was suddenly dark and I saw a lot of roses arranged in a heart shape in the middle was a birthday cake with many lighted candles. I was so surprised. He said that since my birthday was in November by giving me a surprise and he couldn’t celebrate my birthday, he wanted to make up for my birthday.

 

                  And then, on the night of Thanksgiving he took my hand, and he took me to see the panorama of Chicago’s skyline at a restaurant. Then we shared dinner.

                  I looked at him, and I was grateful to my boyfriend for everything. I still remember the special date. I will always cherish him and enjoy this together time.

                 

                 

Unforgettable Day

 

Husam Joharjy, 

I remember one of the most unforgettable days in my life. When I first came from Saudi Arabia to the United States in October 2010, my brother was waiting anxiously for me at the airport. When the plane just landed, the story had just begun.

First. It took about half an hours to walk from the airplane to the immigration line at the airport. It was very long line and I felt frustrated. I just followed the instructions but I got confused because there were many signs and directions there. However, thank God I had slept very well on the plane to conserve my energy. I finally reached the immigration line and waited patiently.

After I successfully passed the long line and finished the immigration procedure, they sent me to the main office. I stayed there about three hours. I felt bored until somebody called my name and told me “you are all set.” Fortunately, I had done all the procedures and requirements. That was fantastic. Then, I went out of the airport excitedly looking for my brother.

After that, I met him and we hugged each other, we were happy and smiled. Then, we rode the airtrain to reach the parking lot and it was quite crowded. I was really starving, but I was so excited and astonished because that was the first time I saw the U.S.

When we reached the terminal parking lot, I held the luggage cart. The door automatically opened and my brother exited first. When I was all set to go out, one of the luggages stuck in the cart’s wheels. I tried to go out as quickly as I could but unfortunately the door closed! I was trying to communicate with my brother using gestures and facial expressions and telling him “stay there! Do not move!” I really was nervous and feeling lost, and I did not know what to do. I just watched my brother as the airtrain rode away and I gaped. I thought we would lose each other forever!

While the door was closed, an old lady reassured me and told me not to panic. The airtrain will go around in a circle, and you will come back to this station again after a whole round. I was relieved after that. Finally, I reached my destination and met my brother again. I felt happy and relaxed, we were laughing that time till we got home.

That was my first experience in the U.S. but finally, I over come all of these difficulties that I had faced on my journey. I learned that I have to get some information and get an idea about the map of the airport that I am heading to for first time. Especially nowadays every airport has a website for convenience. That’s what I learned on that day.
