Hello everyone, my name is Hao Lin and I migrated to USA five years ago. I am outgoing and a little bit of humor, although some of my friends always though my jokes weren’t funny at all, but I enjoy my own style of humor. Same as most boys, I do like to play computer games, basketball and read some novels. I played computer because my friends are playing, and I enjoy the teamwork in the basketball game. Reading novels for me just like to experience other people’s life story and see people views about this world.
It is a great chance for me to meet everyone in this class. Each of your come from different places, have different cultural backgrounds and of course some interest stories about your past. I believe most of people in this class are new immigrants and you will agree with me that life for immigrants was not easy at all. I was started from the ESL class which refers to the English as Second Language. I had problem to communicate with other native speakers or I did not want to getting in touch with them because I knew how poor my English was. However, I realized that my friends did not look down at me because of the language problem, even more they are willing to help out and encourage me to express myself. It is true that friend is the one who always supporting you.
And talking about friends, college is another great opportunity to make new friends. However, the life in college is totally different from the high school. I expect my college life will be a lot of easier than high school, but from what I had experienced is it is opposite from my thought. No one going to push you means if you don’t study by yourself the only result is failing. It is more about responsibility and self-control. I was so busy each week, which there is lot of readings in each of class and difficult exams coming up. However, thing did not come out as I wished. The grades for some course such as music is badly even i did study for it. Hope things will get better during next few months.
