I am city born and city grow in Toronto but stayed and studied in Hong Kong twice temporary when I was in between 6 and 14 years old due to my family reunion, specially to the divorce of my parents. Under this circumstance, I found this living experience could broaden my vision either in study of different culture, and the development of my personality. However, it affected the consistency of my educational learning system, as well as making friendship in depth in my peer group. At the beginning, I had difficulty in accommodating with a brand new environment within a shorten period but then I got better and better in the later years.

College Admissions Essay If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there.
Then Allison and I started grade 12. School was chaotic for me as the workload increased. I almost regretted changing from the vocational to the academic studies. Allison and I started out the school year like all the other years hoping to make good marks so we could get on with our lives afterwards.
It was a rough start at first because of the multitude of changes that occurred all at once but I was determined and knew I could do it. I had lots of support from my family and they helped me get through the transition of being in school again. Although what I took as support
Many of these challenges will most likely occur due to culture shock and environmental shock. The first challenge I faced abroad in Germany was the language barrier. Although I had taken multiple years of the language from high school throughout college, I could hardly understand it due to different dialects, accents, and the speed of conversation. Although my classroom lessons had prepared me to read, write, and speak, only with my fellow American accented slow speaking German classmates. Only total immersion within a native speaking country will total fluency be possible. This language barrier presents an intellectual and emotional challenge. The first few weeks were emotionally stressful as I could not communicate at more than a basic level. As time went on, my German increased along with my confidence. I am certain that I will be successful at learning any new language in the future as I already have experience.

From a young age I learn how to adapt to new environment and challenges.

Also with moving around I learned how to speak three different language and I spent some of my time translating for family member and friends.

Accomplishing my dream to study in an American University with a good prestigious such as Lindenwood University has helped me valued life. More importantly, studying abroad means breaking all the shackles by experiencing challenges never imagined before. I feel compelled to see it through such as money, transportation, and language barriers. This dream has encourage me for future chances in the job market, and at the same time this confidence allows me to think big.

It was Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at Pearson Airport in Toronto, Canada with my family, only knowing the words, “hello” and “bye”. I have lived in Burlington, Ontario since the day I have immigrated. If I did not immigrated to Canada, my life would completely have changed. I can’t imagine myself surviving in Korea’s education because in Korea, every student compete each other only to get better grades and to go to well-known universities.

As the year went on, we started learning new stuff I never learned before. That meant I had to study more and try harder.

Another change I have gone through this year is a social change.
I grew up in Ashaiman, one of Ghana’s largest slums, and come from a background of great economic disadvantage. The houses I grew up in often lacked one basic amenity or the other, and I have too many memories of my parents suffering harsh treatment and exploitation by merciless landlords in the name of rent. When we finally managed to fulfil our housing obligations, the next daunting hurdle to clear was my school fees. In spite of our lack, my parents insisted I attend one of the best schools in the town, refusing to let their income be a barrier to my education. I have several memories of being marched out of class for non-payment of fees along with the humiliation and disappointment I felt each time I packed my things out of class.
