Something that I'm feeling right now is how
much I've grown, and how much I've accomplished.
I feel proud of myself.
I like solving problems and getting hands-on
when solving a problem and engineering allows
me to do that, so I chose engineering.
I joined a fraternity, Alpha Phi Epsilon,
so a service fraternity. I think joining organizations
is the best way to find friends, not only
an acquaintance, but you actually get to bond
with them. I thought that it was interesting
because in the movies, when you watch something
that involves fraternities, they don't show
the philanthropy that they do. They don't
show the service that they do. So, once I
got here, I thought that fraternities were
all parties but then when I actually learnt
about what most fraternities do, I found out
that most people who join fraternities were
interested in their philanthropies.
The ISC (International Study Center) taught
me more about the American culture and what's
the norm here, what is acceptable and what
is not, and also having other international
students is like having support, you're not
the only one feeling homesick. I think it's
a great way to slowly transition from living
in another country to a different country,
completely different to where you lived.
