My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I tended     1    (hate)being who I was.

I had an English teacher who took so much     2    (responsible)for his job, Mr. Creech. He knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone     3     had a reading age below six had to stand up. Nervously, I stood up. At that time I had some doubt whether I could keep up with the other students. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to     4    (regular)help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading. I became more and more     5    (confidence).

“I’m so glad that I have a chance to see you.” I said, “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share with you.” To his relief, he knew I had had no trouble reading books and articles. I told him that I had worked very hard and finally my effort had paid     10    .

How can I describe the wonder I felt the first time I saw my favorite painting, George Seurat’s A Sunday on La Grande Jatte? I     1    (admire) the work for years in art books, but I had never thought I would see the actual painting,     2     was housed far from where I lived.

The first thing that struck me as I     3    (enter) the room where the painting was displayed was the size of the work. It was huge! It covered a large part of     4     even larger wall. The painting was painted with dots, a technique     5    (call) pointillism. To create such a huge painting     6    (use) this technique seemed an almost impossible task. Seurat had done it, though, and had made it look easy!

What’s more impressive, however, was the     7    (beautiful) of the painting. Viewed from a distance, the colors looked soft and gentle, describing the happy and     8    (peace) mood of a summer day in the park.

When I approached the painting, though, its colors exploded into many more colors, showing the artist’s skill in combining colors     9    (create) a mood. Even the parts of the painting that appeared white from a distance were lively and had many different colors when viewed up close. I sat and stared     10     the painting in wonder for a good part of the afternoon.

Today I read about the early learning experiences of three famous people: Marie Curie, Charles Darwin and Nelson Mandela. Young Curie was frequently asked to     1     in front of visitors. In the beginning, she considered it a(n)     2     because she was a timid little girl. Fortunately, her father kept reading Polish     3     to the family on Saturday evenings. With the help of this great     4    , Curie gradually developed a taste for poetry and became willing to learn     5     and recite poems. Young Darwin acquired a nickname of “Gas” because he used to help his brother with his experiments in making gases and compounds in their laboratory. By doing this, he learned, in a(n)     6     way, the real meaning of experimental science. In a manner different from that of the other two, young Mandela learned a lesson from a(n)     7     incident with a donkey. It managed to unseat him while he was riding it. He     8     and felt embarrassed. He learned that he would not     9     his opponents by hurting their     10    .

6 . Born and raised in Hawaii, I learned to appreciate and respect a diversity of cultures as a member of its very successful Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Most of my classmates stayed in Hawaii for college or went to schools on the West Coast, but I decided to broaden my horizons by attending Purdue University in Indiana. While there, I discovered I was a minority — something I had never experienced back home.

Being a minority for the first time, I felt like an outsider. My ideas, interests and values were constantly considered not as important as my heritage (传统). After sharing an alternate point of view, I would often hear “What do you know? You’re from Hawaii.” These responses eventually made me less enthusiastic about telling people where I was from; I had lost pride in my heritage.

That summer I went home to work for a political non-profit in Honolulu, where I discovered a love for working on laws. Slowly, my pride in my heritage came back. I came to the realization that everyone is raised differently, and the people who had previously thought little of me were so forced on their ideas of where I came from — a remote, beautiful island — that they were ignorant of my culture and the value that other views and opinions can offer.

I returned to Purdue with a newfound love for my background, I decided to share my culture with everyone I could and, after I did, I found people were more willing to hear my ideas. I changed my major to political science and decided I wanted to be a civil servant, with the goal of helping people of Asian American Pacific Islander backgrounds. I strongly believe if more AAPIs are given opportunities to expand their horizons by attending universities across America and the globe, the ignorance will go away and more voices will be heard.

8 . When my family officially dropped me off at my new apartment in Galway, I felt a wave of different emotions. I was really nervous about what the next two weeks would bring. However, my roommates turned out to be overly welcoming and energetic, which made the transition very easy. Little did I know how close we would all become by the end of the two weeks!

For the next two weeks we attended classes and had field trips. It actually killed me because I was a terrible hiker. One day our teacher rented a bus and led us to go hiking to different spots. We arrived at a river to eat lunch and sit on the bridge. I sat up onto the bridge looking down at the water below me. My phone was in my lap while I ate my food. Suddenly I heard the actual worst sound — a splash (溅落声). Without even looking down, I knew that my phone had dropped into the river.

I was used to keeping my ID and bank cards in the back of my phone case. I stared down in disbelief at the flowing water. I stood up to jump off the bridge into the river, but Corina pulled me back. I started to scream because what else you could do when you were in a different country and your phone, ID and bank cards were about to disappear. Hope, one of my roommates, was along the bank and dove into the water to retrieve my things. With her help in time, I didn’t suffer any loss.

The best tiling that came out of my study experience abroad was my roommates who became my close friends. Corina, Hope and Emily made my study experience abroad so memorable. We had so many truly memorable experiences during our time in Galway. I was amazed at how close we became in such a short time. One thing I have learned this year is that you have to hold the moment now! If I had waited to study abroad until this summer, which I once considered, all of these friendships and memories wouldn’t exist.
