  My Challenges with English Language

English language is one of the most important languages around the world and It is one of the requirements to get a job in Saudi Arabia. Studying in U.S.A was too hard to me for many reasons. First of all, studying in free world and come from Saudi Arabia where you are not allowed to go anywhere without their man ( father ,brother,husband). I start thinking about coming to us after I graduated from high school when all university door closed in my face i surprise that happened because I was spend my time studying hard and focusesing to get full marks in all  subjects and that is what happened.I got 99,99% in the total presantge for all subjects .My teachers,my family,and every one said you will be in the best university in Saudi Arabia and you will choose your major but every things worked negatively  and  I lost my dreams .there was one way just to complete my study and make my dream, come true.Is coming to US and starting a new. Iwas in my room just thinking how i will say to my family and what there reaction will be.I did not know if they will accept or refuse . so I went to my family and said that I want go and study in US. Every one was surprised. They said to my you can not do it.I said no I can . they said that you can not go for one reason you are too emotional person as usual I started craying like a baby and every one was lathing. After that, my father said come with me Layla. I went with hem to his office the lights were low and he was seriously when he said to me are you sure that you want study in US.I said yes. he was silent for 2 mins and after that he said you can do it Layla. these people going yo US and go back are not better than you . I was happy and my heart beated faster .after 2 months I came to us and start new life .

I was in Denver,co in the Bridge language center.I remembered my first day there I was loseing my way. what should I have to do ?how can I speak English without feeling shy ?how my life will go with the new culture ?so the first day was too hard that I did not understand anything the man was talking about. He was talking about the rule and polices inUS and in school and when he was said do you understand. I said yes but actually I did not understand anything. In the second day, they made to us do aplecament test to make sure which level that I should be in.I was in level 3 and I was surprised that I was not in the first level. Day after day,the classes got harder and the homeworks were a lot .I remember my self when I was there. I was just thinking getting A any way even though that I am not understand the writing and reading classes.They were the worst classes in my opinion because the writing and reading in Arabic is too different the way that we write in Arabic is different the sentence structures are not the same in Arabic .Reading class was the most difficult for many reason. First I could not pronounce it the word in right way, I was feel nerves to read in class and feeling shy.Also in same reading types I have to make my voice different than others like the reaction for Suprise or others . The culture is one of the important things that I have to deal with and accept the way that the like one of the funnest things in Denver that every one talk about football. I remember one day I was in the bus stop. There was a young man said to me hi and hwo are you. I said i am good and after that he was talking about football and about the goals that broncos did one night before.I said to him yes they were great yesterday and after that one of my teachers said to us that we have at less know the result after each footballs game.

my teachers and I worked serious in whole year to make all my mistakes right,so I worked very hard to make my English better .sitting in my room for more than 4 hours day to study and review the work that I had in class . Trying hard to make everything complete in the best way and on the time .Reading more and more stories that my teachers advise me to read ,listing to music all the time and thinking about the meaning and write every signal word,practice more and more speaking with my teachers and my American friends, had a lot of the time in voluntaring in inability care and work there for 2 days a week to practice English and also to make relationships with anew people .all these ways made my life better in all ways. Right know,I can speak, read,write and understand English .I made the first step to make my dream come true by studying English in one year and be different person with a new lifestyle and I graduated from language center from advance level .

Right now, I study in IUP and always say in my self I can do it and I will make it. I will make mistakes, and learn from it and complete my long way to make my dream come true by benig like native, complete my studies ,and make my name in my family and in my society that there was a women called Layla study abroad and make her dreams and goals come true.
