This is a package came from one of my best friends in Taiwan. When I received this package, I felt so touched. And this package really meaningful to me.
I remember when I know that I need to come to USA for college, instead of feeling excited, I felt very disappointed. There were numerous reasons that I was so hesitated. First, I had already prepared the test in my country in order to getting in university for two years, and I suddenly been told that I need to give up the previous test and prepare for the SAT and Toefl. They were the whole new things to me, I didn’t have any confidence that I could learn English well and go to the college in America listening lessons and having conversations with my classmates. Second, once I go to a different country, all things become new to me. I need to learn how to get the subway, how to know the culture well, how to have common conversation with people, etc. The third reason is that I have no friends when I first move into another country, I thought that I will be very lonely. And my friends in Taiwan may forget me due to I can’t participate in their college lives. For these reasons, I was so afraid of moving to America.
Fortunately, my friends didn’t forget me, on the contrast, they encouraged me not to afraid of the new life in America. They sent me packages and told me they miss me so much and really want to listen to my stories in USA.
