Coming to The US
In 2010, after I had just finished high school in Al hafuf in
Eastern Saudi Arabia, I tried to look for a good university near
my family. I wanted to stay nearby so I could be with my family
and friends all the time, but I didn’t find one that I wanted. The
universities in Saudi Arabia were not what I was looking for,
which was a good education system with strong major options,
and school activities. In edition, because my father had studied
in the USA, he advised me to go and study in the US. This is the
most exiting and good time in my life. Also it has changed me a
lot since I moved here.
At that time, I started to look for school and a good city in
the United State. And I was really nerves because all what I
knew about the USA was from the TV. I also had never left
Saudi Arabia without my family before. I sent my paper to three
schools in a deferent part in the US. I was finally accepted in
Wichita State University here in Wichita. I started packing my
stuff and buy things that I will need here. Ten days before my
flight, when I woke up that day, there was smell of my favorite
dish that my mom made it for me. I was so happy and also sad
because I will miss my mom so much.
As for when I got to the US, because I had to go to
Washington DC to do my scholarship paper, I was really

people are always busy and the city doesn’t go to sleep at all. I
thought that all America just as Washington DC. I started to
make some friend because many Americans are curious to know
about my country and my culture. But than I had to leave them
and move to Wichita to start going to school
In order to take classes at WSU, I needed to learn English,
so I started my WSU experience at the intensive English. The
first day when I attended intensive English classes, I saw people
from all over the world. It was really fun experience to have
friends from a different country and learn about many parts of
the world such as foods holydays, and games. I started to learn
English and about American culture. At first, my English wasn’t
good, but my English got better step by step. I also changed a
lot of my bad habit and bet better person.
What I have changed on my life style, first, in Saudi Arabia,
I had never exercised and we had never play sports, but here I
start to go to the gym and do some sports. I did things that I had
never done before such as camping, fishing, and some hikes.
Now I’m likely opened minded and out going. I also have a lot
friend males and females from all over the world. I feel happy,
confidence, and proud of myself.
It’s clear this experience effected me in many ways. It also
will affect my future life. Coming to the US was a good
decision form. I have learned a lot since I moved here. And I
will keep learning every single moment.
