My First Impression of Yale

When I first thought about Yale, what came to my mind was that Yale was one of the largest universities in the United States and the whole world. I didn’t know that Yale has something more important than just being the top university. Yale has the strongest community. Everywhere I walk I see groups of six to ten people walking together which I usually don’t see in any other universities. Also students at Yale are so helpful which is something that I am so impressed with. The way they help others no matter who you are, where you are from, or what language you speak. All they do is welcome you with a beautiful smile on their faces and accept you as one of their family. Have you ever left your family for a while, then you came back after everyone missed you so much and all they ever wanted was to see you again? Have you seen how happy they are when they see you again ? All they will do is to make sure you feel loved. That’s how I felt when I first entered Yale. I never imagined it could be like that. I also didn’t know that Yale gives so many opportunities to all Yale students, non-Yale students and high school students. I always knew that you cannot do anything at Yale unless you are a Yale student, and last year Yale proved me wrong by giving me the opportunity to do an internship working in the ITS department along with other ITS workers. And not only that, this year I was given a scholarship at Yale summer session for the program of intensive English which will allow me to keep my English improving in all ways, such as reading, speaking and writing. Yale is more than just a university - Yale is a dream place for every human being.

A New World

Imagine entering a place where your eyes are open but you cannot see, your ears are hearing but you cannot understand and your lips are moving but you cannot speak. That’s how I felt when I first entered high school in America. Everything I faced was new - moving from class to class, bells ringing , standing in the line for lunch . I felt like I was dreaming. I also felt like it was going too fast, especially the teaching and the talking, the walking in the hallway, watching them staring at me and then laughing loudly . In my freshman year I was placed in ESL ( English as a Second Language) classes. It was Monday morning during second period. As ESL students we were told to make a conversation with a native English speaker to practice our English pronunciation. One of the African-American students picked me to talk to. "Hi!” I said, “My name is Heri, what is your name?" “My name is Abigail,” she said. “H...

We all have moments in our lives that we will never forget, the moment that makes us...us. I am that person who always wants to learn new things. When I want to know about something I do not wait until someone shows or teaches me. And all that is because of him. He told me “don't ever wait until they show you, do it first then ask for help if needed” When I was twelve years old, I lived with my grandparents because they were living by themselves so they asked my parents if I could stay with them. I loved it, because they’d give me anything I wanted, and all they wanted was for me to feel loved by them. As the only child living with them I had to do almost nothing myself. I didn’t have to clean my own room, clothes, shoes or to make my own bed. They even fed me. I loved them very much. I never wanted to go home. But my mother wanted to live closer to her parents so my family decided to mov...
