A manth passed since I came University of Memphis. Before I came here, I had had tensions and worries. I have worries now but it relax than previous.
When I was in Japan, I feared to go to the U of M. That had three resons. First, there was a worry about living with American. I was shy, so I felt, " Can I communicate with American who is friendly." Second reason is the image of Memphis. I searched informations about Memphis. Then, I considered Memphis was bad security ciry. Reason that I couldn not speak English and listen to English is final. I tried to improve my English skills but I did not think my that skill was improved.
Now, I spend very good life in Memphis. I had negative thing of the above but I do not feel like that, now. American's ideas taught me the importance to tell someone my opinion. People of Memphis said Memphis in the night was dangerous but I realized they were very kind people. I want to talk with a lot of countries people so I enjoy learning English. Sometimes, I have stress but it is interesting, too. Like this, my negative things changed positive things. I study English and I want to get English skills. Time is money so I must treasure life in Memphis and spend time to change myself.
I agree 100% with everything you wrote. It is never easy to go to an unknown country. We all have our expectations and ideas, and then it all changes. :) I am so glad that living in Memphis is better than what you have expected. Plus, I am happy that you are here! Enjoy your time, as every day will bring new experiences. :)
