Undergraduate / I can easily adapt to a new environment; Transfer College Essay [4]
I, like most, have been unstable during my first two years in college. I transferred from Saint Michael's College in Vermont to University of Massachusetts Boston in my second semester in college. Most people would assume that it was difficult to adapt from the suburban, quiet, and a small size college to the urban, noisy, diverse, and huge size university. However, because I was once an immigrant, I guess I have more advantage than other people.
Therefore, I can easily adapted to a new environment; quicker than most of people. I can't say that I am not happy in both colleges. In fact, I loved both colleges that I attended. First, Saint Michael's was a great college with smaller class size, friendly students, and of course helpful professors. You properly wonder, if it was that great, why did I transfer? Yes, my prior reason was because during that time my grandmother was in her final stage of lung cancer so it was too difficult for me to come visit her every week since the gap between two destinations was not that close.
I was going to applied to your college. However, the decision I made was late and the deadline already passed two weeks. Nonetheless, I was joyous as an Umass Boston student. I enjoyed my new life with a new environment in a bigger and larger city. I met my Asian friends and was able to have my own social relationship that I had never experiment before. I also got my second job as an animal laboratory assistant, and what more I was able to visit my grandmother every week with the car-pool from my aunt. Soon, after my grandmother passed away this summer, I decided that I have to study as hard as I could in order to graduate early. I took as many credits as I could and then realized that my grades weren't going too well as I predicted them to be. I took a second to think back and I finally found a reasons- I spend too much times with my social relationship and had totally forgot about my classes.
Now that I am in my sophomore year going to junior, my thinking began to change. "I now know that I desire to be at a university that values knowledge to the same degree that I do," I told myself. Therefore, I firmly believe that I belong to a university that have an active spirit of studying, a new environment, a fresh start which I want to go back to my older self, a person who eagerly wants to study than most people and what most important is my instinct tell me that I will be happiest there.
Please make some edition for me because I know I have a lot of grammar mistakes. I will appreciate it! Thank You
