#4 My first arrival to the United States

I remember I could not speak English before I came here. I had studied for 2 months before I left my country to go abroad to study. Going abroad is very hard decision to me because I do not have family, cousins, and even friends here. Therefore, when I arrived at the LA airport, I had to find a person who picks me up to my new home stay. She related with ALP I think at that time. I found her who was raising a paper written my name in English in front of gate, and then I forgot my English that I had learned for two months. I just remember a couple of word during we headed on my home stay in her car. She said she can speak three languages, so I just wanted to say I want to be like you because I just can speak my own language. However, I said I want to you. That was it. Then, we had very quiet silence, and a few minutes later, she talked I had mistakes. After that, I realized I had a big huge mistake, and I explained it. Finally, she understood, and she fixed my English. We laughed, and then I arrived my new home stay safely. After I experienced that situation, I was not nervous to meet home stay parents. Although I had studied English for two months, I was very nervous. However, I overcame to face Native American after only two minutes mistake. Then, I have been doing real English until now. I should be going to speak English more than before.
