Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a passion for learning new things. At the age of 3, I started to realize that I was reading the picture books upside down. That was when I started turning them the right way up, but I still could not understand the words. It wasn 't that the publishers printed out the books wrong, but it was me. I couldn 't read! I remember begging my parents to let me go to school when I was around 4 years old and unsurprisingly, they let me.
My father was working in Phnom Penh, Cambodia at this time, and he put me in an English speaking school. I was already semi-fluent in Khmer because we speak it at home, but he thought it would be more important for me to learn English. I started learning my alphabets

I moved back to Asia to reunite my family because the relationship I have with my father is one of the things I value most in my life. I learn the most important lessons from him. He taught me to be the best person I can be, and to be grateful for everything I have. Instead of a nice house, he got us a cozy small one right next to a dump site. Everyday I was awoken by the stench, somedays it was strong, somedays I couldn 't smell it. We lived with the local people because my father didn 't want me to forget my culture, family, or where we started. People aren 't always fortunate enough, and I considered myself very fortunate because everyday, I see kids around my age picking trash, or selling trash. They couldn’t go to school they were stuck in the cycle of poverty.
Education in Asia is a lot more expensive, public schools didn’t provide proper education so most people prefer private institution. People who couldn 't afford to go to private schools would go to public schools, or just not at all. The “…average income is about $950 per year. Eighty-percent of the population lives in the countryside, and fifty-seven percent of the labour force is engaged in agriculture…” World Renew. Most children don’t go to school, they would farm or work in
As I grew older, between the transition of a child to a teenager, I learned more about my family, its culture and background, and even some back story about how they came to the United States to the first place. Back at home, my parents are certainly not home for long and everyday we weren't
In conclusion, my recently experience was when my family and me decides to moved to the United States. It was a tremendous change moved to another country. Moving to another country is giving us an opportunity about different language, meet new people, better jobs and great education. This experience maybe was harmful and difficult for all the family, but if we moved for better life, it could be an excellent opportunity for our future. To sum up, now we enjoying living here, my parents have a good job and my brothers and me study at great school.
...d to United States, I was grateful that I made the decision to move. When my family visited, I was able to cherish every moment with them because I knew how difficult life without them. I was grateful to have my family. Their endless support and advice, helped me to improved myself. Lived independently in United states, I grew as a better person, I learned how to planned a better time management and to be responsible on my priority.
As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.
I was being held under with no idea when I may get up, getting tumbled and dragged along the ocean floor. Each chance I pop up and gasp for another breath of air another wave crashes on me causing me to choke on the salt from the ocean. This has been my experience in high school, and once I am graduated it will feel like I can finally catch my breath and ride that first wave.
As a child, I have always been fond of reading books. My mother would read to me every single night before I went to bed and sometimes throughout the day. It was the most exciting time of the day when she would open the cabinet, with what seemed to be hundreds of feet tall, of endless books to choose from. When she read to me, I wanted nothing more than to read just like her. Together, we worked on reading every chance we had. Eventually I got better at reading alone and could not put a book down. Instead of playing outside with my brothers during the Summer, I would stay inside in complete silence and just read. I remember going to the library with my mom on Saturdays, and staying the entire day. I looked forward to it each and every week.
My family decided to move from Mexico to the United States of America when I was just 14 years old, my family and especially me, suffered cultural and identity crisis. A whole different culture, unused language to learn and economical obstacles to overcome at a young age. Today in society.
Learning is a vast processes and this starts from the time when we first open our eyes to see the world. Later complicacy starts as we grow up and learning forms a particular path to tackle this complicacy. This process is formed by the human being and human being only followed this path and he is still following. Learning is basically knowing something that is not known before or rather doing something which is not done before. It could be learning through teaching or experience. Thus learning is combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. When they put theoretical knowledge to practical use and is able to get some result out of the same. Learning has got various purposes, knowing the difference between different learning stages, evaluating ones strengths and weaknesses, develop action plans. Learning styles lead to self development. Self-development is basically personal development. It is about improving personal knowledge, skills and performance. And personal development is only possible if someone completes the learning cycle. The supervised work experience was for the students to experience their theoretical knowledge into practical work. This training has also helped me in knowing my strengths and weakness. SWE is very important for any hospitality management student as it helps them to learn better and more about the Hospitality Industry. In this essay I will show the different learning styles and also how I have developed myself during my training at the Marriott Dalmahoy, Scotland.
My parents migrated to the U.S. from Pakistan in 1990s. Growing up, we did not have much. My dad supported a family of seven on bare minimum wage. We lived in the dangerous slums of New York in a two bedroom, roach infested apartment. While there, my cousin got shot. I vividly remember the horrifying pain sketched into every wrinkle of his face. It made me want to do something with my life so we could move to a better place. My father had the same thought. My father worked hard, and established himself to become a professional tailor. He taught me the meaning of getting education and hard work. We eventually moved to Brooklyn where the air was fresh, the water was clean, the house free of roaches. As I grew, I worked hard at home helping my mother and siblings. Whenever they would need emotional support, I would offer my help to lift their spirit up. Their recovery was a source of my contentment. It never failed to warm my heart.
My parents left me for America when I was only two years old. I lived with my grandparents on a small farm for the next 4 years. My contact with my parents were limited to telephone calls as technology still wasn’t very developed. One day, I got a call from my parents, telling me that I can finally reunite with them. I was deathly scared of going to America: I did not know what my parents looked like, did not speak any
My dad is the greatest role model I have had in my life, and this experience has left me eternally grateful for how much he indirectly taught me through his move to
Reading and writing has always played a vital part in my life. From toddler to adult, pre-elementary to college, I’ve managed to sharpen both skills to my liking. However, even though it significantly helped, schooling was not what influenced me to continue developing those skills into talent. Many different things shaped and influenced my learning, and now reading and writing have become the safety net of my life. I know that even if I have nothing else in the future, I’ll still have my talent and knowledge. To ensure my success, I hope to further develop those skills so that I may fulfill my wishes.
It was a beautiful, sunny day in South Florida. I was six years old, playing by the pool with my new puppy. I loved swimming in the pool almost every day after school. I also enjoyed going out on our boat after school or crossing the street and going to the beach. My father came home one evening with some interesting news. Now, I do not remember exactly how I felt about the news at that time, but it seemed like I did not mind that much. He had announced that we were going to move back to my birth country, Belgium. I had been living in Florida for five years and it was basically all I had known so I did not know what to expect. I had to live with my mom at first, and then my sister would join us after she graduated high school and my father finished settling things. I remember most of my earlier childhood by watching some old videos of me playing by the pool and dancing in the living room. It seemed like life could not get any better. However, I was excited and impatient to experience a new lifestyle. I realized that I could start a whole new life, make new friends and learn a new language. Belgium was not as sunny as South Florida but it has much better food and family oriented activities. Geographic mobility can have many positive effects on younger children, such as learning new languages, being more outgoing, and more family oriented; therefore, parents should not be afraid to move around and experience new cultures.
The city I grew up was Chennai, India. When I came to US for the first time, every place was so new to me. I did not know the direction for coming home from school. Whenever I go to a place, I make sure that I read a map so I would not get lost. Before he moved to Kansas, he was living in Loess Hills, Western Iowa where he was born. His parents had a 120 acres farm and he knows the trails near the farm by heart (Mayberry, 2013, 248). Similarly this is the same experience I had when I was in India. When I was living in India, I missed my dad so much. After five years it was an exciting moment for me to see my dad in the airport. When I lived in San Francisco as a child, we visited only the zoo. As a grownup, when I visited San Francisco, we visited Muir Woods, Union Square and Half Moon
My parents instilled a passion for reading in me even as a toddler; years later, an excellent,
