Study Abroad

As the first person in my family to go to college, at times I felt lost in not only the application process, but also when I arrived at my university.

As my title suggested, actually, I'm a Chinese girl, studying abroad in the USA, now for about 2 months.

“Rebecca, you… need… to… enjoy… your… time… here!” shouted
Lidia, my temporary mother. Little did she know, just because I asked her to
repeat the phrase twice, I wasn’t trying to imply that I couldn’t hear, merely
that she needed to speak more clearly and slowly. I was in Valencia, Spain,
what I like to consider my home away from home.
