Writing Feedback / "You think life is hard?" I want this content in my school's magazine [3]
You think life is hard? Well imagine yourself sitting in a class feeling like you are blind, deaf, and unable to vocalize the same words as others. This hardship is happening everyday for the foreign students. They often ask themselves "What are we doing here, looking like a fool?" As I sat myself down, I begin to ponder, "Do I still feel this way?" Being Afraid of not understanding a word people were saying, or what I was going to do with myself. Even though I had my family, I was on my own most of the time. It was like going to a different universe with no hope or someone to lead you every step of they way. At that moment it reminded me of someone, someone extraordinary, someone who might have been as puzzled like I was. However, she wasn't like the majority, she was a unique person that chose the positive side of reality and made a great achievement out of it. When she first came to the U.S. she might not have known what people were saying or what the school system was like and what the culture here is but she didn't give up. She fought the obstacles that came her way. She is now an amazing Spanish professor that teaches at an early college school. Her name is Jennifer Pereira. The connection that i felt when i met her, gave me the rush of wanting to know more about her.
