What was your initial reacion to coming to the U.S

This is the second time that I came to the United state. First time I came to the U.
S.when I was 10 years old. I have been to New work to find my cousin who studied there. I had a lot of fun in that time. After ten years, I came to the U.S. again but this time I came to Carbondale where my studied in the SIUC. I had the new feeling at this time because I came here with my friend,Mickey, without my parents' caompany. In Taiwan, I stayed with my parents during the school time so that I could not have a lot of freedom. Mickey took to many fun places like the Calvary church, Chicago,and the SIUC.Then my CESL class started, and I learned a lot of knowledge. Therefore, I just felt excited and expected that I could have a good time during this period.
