An Event That Change My Life 
 
Life is about making choices, but some of them can even change our life. Two 
years ago I decided to come to America to join my husband who is a doctoral 
student in a university, although I knew it was really a challenge to me. This 
significant decision that I’ve made changed everything about me and my life. 
That was a tough decision to make. It means I will leave my homeland, friends 
and go to a far-away place to my family. I must adjust to the alien 
environment. Moreover, I had to finish my contract on a very decent job. My 
parents worried about my future, but I still thought life was wonderful and the 
world was big. 
Arriving in a new country was exciting and discomforting. America is a 
wonderful place to live, which is full of adventure and challenge. I was 
attracted by the Western culture. Meanwhile, I am also troubled by different 
language. Although I began to learn English in middle school from ABC, my 
listening and oral abilities tend not to be adequate. I have to study hard to 
improve my English, so that I can understand what the people said. 
Since I came to America, I made great progress not only foreign language but 
also adaptive capacity. From what I saw, read, and talked with my husband and 
friends, I realized that I want to back to school to improve myself. Because 
many American universities have opening academics and education thoughts, 
advanced facilities, and sufficient funding support. After making an effort, I 
have been admitted to the university and have been granted a scholarship. 
Getting the admission of university is important to reorganize my life. 
In the past two years, I learned a lot here. This experience not only broadens 
my view but also enriches my life. It changed my life for the good. I will try my 
best to do everything well, in order not to regretful in the following year.
