I experienced a shocking event at EWU today. It was my first
time to go to EWU so I was so excited about this outing. When we arrived at
EWU, we visited a class. I observed “Intro to women’s studies.” It was about
the women in the society. At first, we had a discussion about this
topic so I communicated with some students about it. Our discussions were
about “What are the multiple ways you identify yourself?” and “What do you
consider to be home?” However, I couldn’t understand the meaning of
questions so I hesitated to answer. My partner asked me questions but I
couldn’t say anything and I told her wrong answers I thought. It was a
short discussion but I was vexatious about it! After the conversation,
the class started. ”I can’t understand what the teacher is saying.” I thought. This was
my opinion during the class. I knew It would be difficult for me to take the
college class but I wanted to join the class so I didn’t think serious
about it at all. However, I thought it was so hard to listen to the lecture
because of unknown vocabulary. I researched this lecture in my
dorm a little bit but it didn’t help me. I just took some notes so I
couldn’t listen to teacher’s lecture more carefully. Teacher talked more
slowly than SFCC teacher I think but the lecture was more difficult than
in SFCC lecture. At the end of the class, I became confused. I thought I should
remember more vocabulary immediately.
After lunch, I had a fabulous conversation with a Japanese student at EWU. I met Ayako who is studying accounting. I talked with her all the time and she gave me lots of advice about studying abroad. She decided to study abroad when she was 27 years old. At first, she couldn’t speak English but she came to the USA and she studied hard so now she can speak it fluently. She always said don’t give up is the most important value when study abroad. Also, I was surprised that it cost 30000 dollars in each year to study abroad. I was dizzy when I heard this amount. If I want to study abroad, I should not wast money on unimportant things. She said I have to give up shopping and traveling. Probably, she gave them up them because of studying abroad. However, if I want to study abroad, I can bear it giving up no shopping and traveling! At the end of the tour, she encouraged me so I thought I should study English! I have no idea if I will study abroad but if I wish to try it, I want to apply to the university in the future!
As you can see, I had a good opportunity to learn myself at EWU. I should decide and focus on what I need in my dreams come true. I want to say "Don't give up! I can do it!!!" by myself.
