What do you feel if you have a
chance to study in US? Happy? Sure. That is what I feel now. I am getting excited for being here,
University of Kansas or KU in America. This is the first for me to go abroad
for studying English and of course, it
is so extraordinary.
I am here just for 2
months or Summer Semester. It is so short actually. Although it is short, I
think the most important thing is how useful our time and how many things that
we can take as lessons and experience. As far as here, I have a lot of thing that I have
learned and my experience that I want to share, maybe it can be motivation for you.
I have learned a lot of thing
from my teachers, either Grammar/Writing teacher( I have the same teacher for two
classes) or Listening teacher. Both of them are my motivation. I have a dream
for being a good teacher and I think they are a good teacher to be a model. Last
semester before coming here, I taught in
my University and I knew, it was so hard to manage the class and my students
although they were the same level or ages. Here, I see how patient my teachers
to face their students who come from different countries and different ages. I really appreciate them. Besides that, there are a lot of
thing as my experience that I cannot
find in my country Indonesia. For instance, the drivers are very careful in driving and they are very
appreciate with pedestrian. I am so proud of them. I am often on foot to go to campus
and I feel safe to across the street. An addition, I like to see the old
building here because in Indonesia, there have been changed to modern and high
building and so difficult to find the building like here. The most important of
my experience is I can find many friends
here who come from my countries such as Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, Korea and
America, of course. Besides that, I feel so proud to be a class with the
students who are a Ph.D. program students and Prof. and I have learned a lot of thing(also) from
them. I will never forget about it.
Overall, I feel so wonderful to
be here. The chance to study abroad, the chance to see how my teachers teach many students with different
background and ages and find many
friends who comes from many countries
are the greatest experience in my life. If you have a dream, do your best and
never say never for something that seem impossible because nothing impossible
in the world.
