Hello everyone. My name is job.lima and this is my life.
Today has been almost three months since I’ve been living by myself for the first time of my life. When I first arrived here I didn’t know anyone and very little about this place other than it would be the place I was going to spend the next four years of my life.
Living away from home with all the solitude can be a problem. It is still hard sometimes to live in the United States, not always I understand what people are trying to express and if they know exactly of I’m saying. I always have a feeling when I see everyone walking around here that in some way that are part of something. Their culture binds them together and I realize that I have almost nothing in common with any of these people. I absolutely love it.
Since I’ve been living here I’ve been exposed to many different people on this campus, being americans and also other international students here and it has been amazing.
I have meet people here that study and work with passion. IPeople here are loud. Boasting a noisy full of opinions and differences. People are not afraid of arguing and stating their opinions even when sometimes they come across as arrogant.
I also came to realize that no matter where you come from. People are people. It’s like every stereotype I had in my mind has been shattered. I came to realize it’s not what you are surrounded that makes who you are, it all comes from you.
There’s no spoon.
Enough with this.
I need to study more if I ever want to reach any of my goals. I need to get a job for the first time in my life. I need to start thinking about the future.
I’ve spending most of my time with Americans and my English is proficient. I smile every time someone though I was from here. I’m losing my accent.
I’ve been hanging out with CS majors and people alike. That remembers my passion for gaming, math and staying up until four doing some Java.
Like someone I know would say, train hard.
