Study in the United States, those days of pain and pleasure

 [Source: New Oriental of: Yang month]
the end of student life is not final, but a new starting point. Cherish those days to study it, it allows us to grow, tough HAPPY!
Years ago When I had just graduated from university study in the United States determined to choose this path when it is with good vision and unlimited expectations. I dream of the United States, is synonymous with the modern and popular, as seen in movies like around high-rise towers, bustling and crowded streets, people walking down the street hurry hh At the time, I did not realize that may go down this road is not always happy, full of thorns and obstacles may be, perhaps this is a path is not easy.
taste of the loss came to America and the United States

I threw back pack, fly to the ideal of my country abroad mm the United States. I remember very clearly, when the plane landed International Airport in Dallas, it was a golden afternoon, I looked out through the windows of the cabin, surrounded by an open lawn, even if the distance, it is difficult to see the tall buildings. I suppressed faint heart disappointment, comfort yourself that the airport does not always happen Mody. and when I reached the city with fellow students, I see only sporadically dotted with tall buildings. this time I realized that not every city of the United States were in New York, San Francisco, this is the true American original.
because it is located south-central Texas hot in the summer. On that hot summer, I took the very heart of loss, and began study life in the United States.
easily taught to encourage teaching
type the first week of school, American professor teaching style really made me surprised about that. i always heard that the U.S. is autonomous teaching, the really come to understand. maybe I'm taking with the professional (marketing) the teacher in the classroom with almost no textbooks, mainly case studies, and sometimes the teacher will narrate his own experience for everyone. We learned that the original every professor several roles, and they all had well-known companies in a multinational or a work of many years, they have personally experienced or witnessed the ups and downs in the mall, so the book knowledge they have their own unique view. and students in the classroom can also speak freely, the teacher like you have different opinions, the classroom atmosphere is extremely relaxed and active. On one occasion, an old professor or even one to take off their shoes on the classroom, but also encouraged the students to use their own feel comfortable position lectures. I fell in love with this relaxed and informative class, slowly from the initial fear of speaking gradually become willing to express their opinions freely.
those days of pain and joy < br> After-school homework mainly paper-based, which has just begun for the exotic life does feel a bit hard for me, had never thought I would write a non-mother tongue of about 20 papers. the first day of class, teacher on the layout of such a job, and in addition to title, do not give any hints. I had to go to the library, Internet, access to large amounts of data, but I also in the process of information retrieval mastered the knowledge and try to express . acquire knowledge of the process as a converter, reading, information search is the input process, input and after their processing expressed with a certain form, this can be considered truly learned knowledge. This way of teaching me to unknowingly master to master before things need to be memorized.
American professor teaching me the encouragement to be understanding. In fact, my first time writing a paper can not be considered strictly a paper format and content are not very good, But the teacher still gave me 90 points, and by e-mail gave me some pointers, but also encouraged me to say, very well written, I hope next time will be better. my heart has been very encouraging, reference books and online Examples of papers and pay attention to accurate use of words and grammar, to write his own thesis papers closer to local students. After my paper more than once a high-performance, the highest one actually got 98 minutes, the teacher in the e-mail wrote: papers, some in front of the class required to make a speech, others will be about the same with China in the form of examination when the Church. prepare for the exam day passes are also some difficult to read almost every day to see the early morning However, the good results of each exam made me feel the joy of all the pay is worth it.
from work to find a Chinese restaurant, on the one hand is to earn some living expenses themselves, the other is to save some money to travel. At first, I work really hard day load. In the past in China, but also the most difficult time than themselves to the field to go to college, need to adapt themselves to the field of life. However, the hard work in the U.S. is really far beyond my imagination. Fortunately, the boss wife are kind, is a fluent in Chinese, Korean, English, Spanish, four countries language Korean Chinese, she arranged for me to do the flight attendant, responsible for the a la carte, serving, clearing the table, money, etc., in addition to the dishes do not do, nothing else to do. I began to really work hard to accept such a complex in China, have never done this kind of was a Wednesday noon, the normal working day at noon there will not be too many guests to patronize, to the day I do not know how, and guests have continued, much of the restaurant has been full of people, there are a lot of people outside waiting in line. At noon I was the only work with a Thai boy, we both be new to the already slow movement, plus saw a lot of people waiting, relatively worry, it is easy on the wrong dish, to close the wrong money. proprietress is very angry, I was to blame, grievances to tears. That day at noon, I did not eat the meal left the restaurant, a home I cried. crying, I want to rag tears, the parents very hard I hope to reduce the burden on them is not exactly what I decided to work at the original intention of it? So I bite the bullet and told myself to stick to it, other students can do, I do so as well. The next day, I was surprised at the boss look at the restaurant next appeared.
this way, I first rookie class by the more harmonious relationship between the boss, to the U.S. 8 months, the first and only eat once a steamed bun, that is, the boss gave me.
enjoy the experience of the United States to grow
most of my work with the money saved on travel. I went to New York, fell in love with the bustling and crowded there; went to San Francisco, fell in love with the city's beautiful and delicate; went to Las Vegas, money and desire in love with it charm. I found the American dream: bustling, crowded, beautiful and modern. I accepted that the United States, it has a fixed side, there are also quiet side; it can make people lose, but also gives peace. its charm lies to show you heaven, paved the ladder to help you, but you have to do is to go boldly.
in Texas, cold winter, I want to graduate. graduation day, sunny, like most of the day I arrived the afternoon of the United States, the golden sunlight on the campus. When I finally took the principal goes from the diploma, I fail to live up to fall again tears, I finally got what he has been seeking to achieve their dreams.
recall all the past, I have experienced joy and sadness, it seems like yesterday. and those true feelings, but also deep deep imprint in my heart. from my timid, afraid to dare to face, to my maturity, to their encouragement, strong faith, achieve the target, along the way, really did not study as easy as I thought two years ago , harvesting is also true for more than two years ago, I think. and principals embrace the end of my school days the United States. kind of the principals said something in my ear: my child! But get more, those who live in the ups and downs, if not to study, perhaps a lifetime can not understand, she does not know that they had very valuable. So treasure those days to study it, it makes us grow, tough HAPPY !
