Who am I?

    I came to the United States when I was 8 years old. I was very young when I came to America.  I came here  with my family. I was studying in elementary school when I was in Pakistan.  When I came here, I started to go to elementary school.  At first, it was very hard to adjust to the American school environment.  I did not know a word of English.  I used to sit behind the student.  I did not like the other student and the school at all.  After one school year, I made some friends and started to learn English. I graduated from junior high school and went to high school. My biggest accomplishment was to graduate from high school and achieve the high school diploma because high school was very hard for me.  I did not want to drop out. I wanted to graduate from there.

            After graduating I had to go to a new school.  Some of my friends came to the same school and some of them did not.  At first, I was a little bit of afraid because it is a new school and I was thinking is it going to be like my other school.  It was not a bad school or bad experience. But the Education get harder for me.  I didn’t understand what the teachers used to teach.  I would go to every class and sit in the back.  I used to listen to the teachers what they are teaching but if I did not understand, I would ask again.  but if I didn’t understand twice.  I would not ask the teachers because everyone would laugh at me.  I used to cut some classes too.  Because some teachers were very nice and some of them were very rude.  my English teacher was very good he would teach the class very nicely and teach me and every other student precisely. He explained the topics over and over if I didn’t understand. I was not sacred to ask me questions but other teacher I was very scared.

            While attending the 4-year high school I had very hard time with high school Education. I was doing very bad in math. I didn’t understand any math course. I passed only one class of math and started to fail the other math class every semester I took.  I passed the other course but sometimes I failed too. math gave me very hard time. It made me think to drop out of high school. I used to feel Education is not for me.  But as my graduation time was approaching I was finishing up with other courses. I passed four math classes in four years. I had to pass six classes. But I worked very hard to pass those four classes. I went to extra tutoring. The tutors were very helpful to me. I couldn’t graduate on time. I was in high school for extra semester and took two-math course together to graduate. I didn’t let the word drop out come to my mind. I made up my mind.  I said I would graduate from this high school.  All my friends did it and I have to do it.  I had to accomplish the high school diploma.

            I also had very hard time to pass the regents examination.  It was very hard.  I would study very hard and pass the class.  My teacher would cover the topics and made review sheet for us.  I knew what would come on the test and just study those and pass the class.  However, the regent’s exam comes from the City.  Entire year topics would come on that test and it was very hard to remember everything.  The teacher would teach us everything.  However, I did not think even though the teacher knew what would come in the regent exam.  However, I failed it many times and then passed it.  Sometimes it was very hard and sometimes not.

            I was having very hard time with everything almost.  However, not everyone became successful without having hard time.  I believe it was for me to.  High School Diploma was my biggest Accomplishment and challenge.  I promised myself I don’t want be called a high school dropout.  I did all my best to get the diploma. I wanted to achieve it. It was my goal when I was in school. It was my accomplishment and achievement.  I was lucky and I did very hard work to finish it. It took me one semester extra but that was oaky. I felt very happy to graduate from high school.  I was walking on the hallway to meet my counselor after the test of my extra semester and she came up to me and start shaking hands with me and that moment I understood that I passed the Exam.  She told me congratulation and told me to pick up my diploma.  That moment was one of the best and happiest moments in my life.  I will never forget.

            Finally, it felt so good after completing the high school.  I felt relief.  I did not have to stress out any more.  I hope I do very well in college.  Now my accomplishment will be to graduate from college and get the college degree and live a better life. I hope and want to have a better future so that I can live a better life.
