The topic for this post is monologue, but seriously I don’t really know what I can write about. After finished reading other people’s post, I think I’d talk about myself a little more.
I think you all heard that I had been here for 5 years already, not that long but compared with other people in our class, I came here a little bit earlier than them. At the beginning, I had gone to junior high school for half year. I still remember a lot of things that happened at that time. There were not many Chinese classmates in my class, 2 girls and other 5 boys, but there was Korean girl who was really friend with us. We spent a perfect happy time together. We all couldn’t speak even understand English so we did nothing in school, even though the teacher had asked problems on us, we just stared at him back and said nothing at all. But we always made noise when we were talking in Chinese to each other. At that time, I got nothing to care about even our basic speaking skills. Oh, by the way, I met my best friend who didn’t go to the same high school with me, but we are still closed to each other now.
After that, high school came. Compared with junior high, my high school is quite bigger. I still remember I got lost in the building at the first day of school. I met many Chinese immigrants there and it definitely made me feel much better in a bilingual school system and then I started study. It was still hard for us to improve our English in bilingual classes with the same native language speakers. But lucky was we met a really perfect teacher who helped us in anywhere. He is a bilingual teacher who taught us history but also English skills, SAT, and even college stuffs. We really should and also did appreciate him. And also he pushed me to AP classes that really helped me a lot with my English.
I had great junior high and high school experiences, I hope and also believe I will have another wonderful four years with people I just met and I will meet in Baruch.
