I had a significant time at WSU on Tuesday. Fortunately, I had an opportunity to talk with two Chinese guys and one Saudi Arabian. It was a great time sharing ourselves, our future goals and so on. Through the conversation, I learned three important things by them; importance of English, attitude and independence.
Firstly, I realized how important English is to our generation by talking with one Chinese guy. I had a chance to talk with this Chinese guy at lunch time. One of his stories was very interesting and it extended my perspective. He studied Japanese hard for two years and he was ready to go to Japan to improve his Japanese skill; however, he changed his mind in the last minutes and now he is at WSU in America. I asked him why he changed his mind and his answer was like this. “If I can speak Japanese, I can only use it in Japan; however, if I can speak English, I can use anywhere in the world.” He told me how English is needed in his society and how important it is to our generation. I realized the importance of English by his words.
Secondly, I was impressed by the high motivation of one Chinese guy who wants to be a photographer. He just came to America and he has been here only for 55 days; however, he works so hard to achieve his future goals. During lunch time, we had a conversation about our future dreams, and then he told me he wants to be a photographer. He showed me some of his works and they were absolutely stunning! He told me about his favorite cameras and his photos. I was very impressed by his high motivation towards his future goal. I’m sure his works will impress many people in the world.
Lastly, I really respect one Saudi Arabian guy’s independence. He has already been in the US for four months and he lives in an apartment. I had an experience to live in a dorm when I was in 12th grade, and then I learned how important being independent is. By communicating with him, I wondered how he prepares his meals, so I asked him and he told me he prepare them by himself every day. I’m not a good cooker, so I really respect that he can prepare his meals by himself. Even living abroad is difficult to get used to for most people; however, he lives in abroad and takes care of himself every day. I was very influenced by his independence.
It was only few hours vising WSU but I had a great discussion with international students. It was significant for me to learn the benefits and importance of English, attitude and independence. I’m not planning to go to WSU but I’m willing to go to EWU, so I would like to work hard like them to achieve my future goals.
