some experiences

My experience here in America was one of the most life changing experiences. Coming from Kenya,my home town, where people are the kind where they mind their own business and are not too friendly. Here in BYU I have met with people who are very warm, kind and loving. They have made me feel at home and comfortable. Making friends has been one of the best experiences. People come out of their comfort zone and talk to people. I have now learned to do so this has helped me become more social and improve my networking to a great extent.
In Kenya, having family around never made me realize the responsibilities I have. Two weeks ago, I moved into an apartment with 6 other girls. I had to learn to cook, do laundry and clean but the biggest responsibility was dishwashing. Never in my life have I washed dishes. I had to ask my friends to help me learn. It has taught me to be more responsible. I also learnt to be independent and not always have my mum around. I think that American families that make their children move out from home at the age of 20 are only doing so to help the children. They all learn to be more independent in life. This is one experience I think that Indian families and people from other cultures should learn so as to help children become more independent and know their responsibilities in the real world.

My experiences are plenty but these were the two I felt like talking about. I have learnt a lot and hope to keep learning more everyday.
