When I Came To America
When I first arrived to America, I was not pleased with being in a new country with a new language that I don't know anything about it. At the beginning I struggled at school when I saw a new People with a new culture completely different than what I was expecting. Also, it was very difficult for me to adapt in a new school with everyone around make me making me feel less and stupid because they speak English very well . Even teachers were not very good and help me understand the lesson or at least translate. Teachers were giving me assignment to write and I don't understand what to do. Student in my class were friendless that was making school more difficult.

Even though I struggled I didn't give up, that made me more stronger. I fought everything, I started to learn how to write. I read many book to improve my reading. I was speaking in English even when most of my word were wrong and everyone was making fun of me. Now I am better I can write,read and speak perfectly. Also, sometime the people who were making fun of me are asking me for help. Finally I believe that struggling is the key of success. Struggling made my success worth it.

    I am a leader. I have all the qualities that make a great leader, but I was not born this way.Experiences and how someone reacts to those experiences are what truly make a leader. One of the most influential experiences I have gone through is called the Lebanon High School Marching Band. I am certain that I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for marching band. Before coming to high school I already had leadership qualities, but band helped bring all those great qualities together and helped me get past my two major flaws: my lack of self-confidence and the fact that I was probably one of the shyest people you would EVER meet. When I joined marching band, I spent most of my waking hours sweating and suffering alongside wonderful people that I longed to…

    Being a leader is more that motivating others to strive harder and accomplish goals. It’s more about gathering everyone with different skills, religion, ethnicity, etc. and making them one. As a leader, the task is to develop new strategies, tackle problems as soon as they start, recognize signs of stress, leave personal problems as home, put the job first, etc. Not everyone makes a great leader because time isn’t implemented to make changes that are necessary and don’t put the needs of the organization and members in thought. I will discuss who has been a great leader in my life any why. Along will that, I will discuss my traits as a leader.…

    I came to America about 13 years ago from Sri Lanka and I’ve had experiences in this country that I think are very unique. Both of my parents worked so hard to bring my brother and I to America, because they knew that if we wanted the best future we’d have to be here. I never truly realized the impact America has had on me and my family. I come from an Indian/Sri Lankan background and being able to see so much acceptance of our culture here is truly amazing. Although I have had experiences with racism here, I think these last 2 years have made a huge impact on diversity and truly accepting that everyone is equal.…

    The most difficult time is the period when I came to America. I was born in China and lived there for 20 years. The new environment for me was unfamiliar and challengeable.
