monologue
Posted by Jia Ying Wu on November 16, 2014When I first came to America with my family, we arrived at Swartz Creek, Michigan. It is a very small town close to Detroit. I attended at the Swartz Creek Middle school and everyone surrounded me like I am an alien because I was the first Chinese student in that middle school historically. Everyone is very friendly to me, sometimes I wish I could communicate with them better because I didn’t understand them most of the time. The most significant event from Swartz Creek is learning how to swim. In my first swimming class, after the coach blew the whistle, everyone jumped into the water and swam to the other side within half a minute. Meanwhile, I stared at the water with embarrassment and slowly moved into the water. I spent the rest of the semester finally learned how to swim.
