Journal # 4

Write a narrative account of your first arrival to the United States.

My first arrival to the US

I am going to talk about my first arrival to the US. That is a feeling which I am unforgettable in my life. I remember, I really don’t know every thing real in the US. I only know them through movie, watching television or something like this. I never go abroad before so I feel nervous for the first trip to the US. I don’t have any relationship with anybody. That is a problem and my family is worry about that. Actually, when I had only four days to leave my country, at that time, my family found a person who is my father’s friend. So, they would pick me up at the airport. That was funny because I never known them before. At last, I arrived the airport; I tried to find my father’ friend there. This was difficult to find because I never met him before. I had his phone number and I tried to call him by public telephone at the airport. Finally, I also met him, so I was overjoyed at that time. That feeling was so difficult to describe. Then, I would come his home with him. I saw many things on the street when I was coming with him. Everything was new with me. I had the first dinner with his family at his home. I missed my family so much when I had dinner together with his family. After three days, I came to the ALP office to pay tuitions fee there. My English was not good so I had to ask many times and speak carefully but some people could not understand me. That made me a little nervous. Later, everything was okay. To sum up, these were something and some feeling when I went to the US first time.
