International Asian students
Asia is the largest and most populated continent on earth, according to the latest survey home to about 4.4 billion people. Given the many countries and cities in Asia, it has a very thick and diverse culture. Having the opportunity to interact with international students from Asia gave a chance to gain perspective and understanding of fellow students in Asia and learn more about the continent through a native’s eye.
One of the students I got the pleasure to meet and get to know was Cheung Liko Huan. I asked if his name meant anything and he explained that, his parents had a hard time getting a child after marriage so they named him Cheung which meant good luck, Liko so that he was always protected by Buddha and …show more content…

She also did not want to have kids from seeing how her family tried hard to make ends meet. If she ever told her family any of that, they would be very disappointed in her; her parents would regret having encouraged her to further her studies and the family would completely alienate her. To avoid all this she wanted to get through college then leave home.
However, since the school and community at large is very accepting to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population, she has been very free and open about her sexual orientation. She has even been able to find her first love and they have been dating for three months. For this, she is exceptionally happy; she finally feels free, to be herself without fear of judgement or discriminated against.
She is also grateful for the education system. There is a wide exposure in relation to her course, equipped laboratories, fieldwork and exceptionally qualified lectures who can help achieve her goals and dreams. There are also so many students in the same field, which is good as she can share ideas, perspectives, and opinions with so many people who will understand her, broaden, and challenge her intellectually. This is unlike back home where they were very few engineering students and fewer facilities to experiment on what was

    In the article titled “Pashtana’s Lesson” by Beth Murphy, she records the story of a 15 year-old Afghani girl who has a fiery passion for acquiring knowledge and pursuing education, but old traditions oppress her devotion to study. Pashtana is in the 7th grade at an all girls school which has been rejected by the elders in their community, asked to be torn down, or turned into an all boys school.

  • Past and Present Struggles of Asian Americans

    948 Words  | 2 Pages

    One theme that I found to be very interesting is the struggles that Asian Americans have faced in the past and the present. I never knew about the struggles that have been happening in places like China and Laos. I never realized how many families come from poverty and violence. I have only learned very little about historical events such as Vietnam. I am only now becoming more aware about the human rights problem in China. I am so used to seeing places like Tokyo, Japan in movies and television. Everything seems so clean and the city is lit up with bright lights and amazing buildings at night. Before this course, I thought that most Asians live this kind of life. I never knew that these events had even occurred and I was amazed at some of the things Asians have had to go through over the years.

  • Personal Narrative: My Immigration To Nepal

    As I progressed through middle school, I began to realize what was being taught to me in school, was not all the information out there for us to learn so I began to search random article on the internet. I was a curious person ever since I came America because back in Nepal, I always thought Nepal was the biggest country in the world. I would hear about other countries here and there, but I didn’t really had the chance to learn about them. Traveling from one camp to another cam would almost take up the whole day and hearing about other cities within Nepal felt like Nepal was the big country. Therefore, when I came to America, I realized there is so much out there that I can learn from and the best part of them all was studying everything from

  • I Am Malala Rhetorical Devices

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

    Yousafzai expresses,“Because when a teacher appreciates you, you think, i am something! In a society where people believe girls are weak and not capable of anything except cooking and cleaning, you think, i have a talent” (Yousefzai,61). Being appreciated in a modern society is nothing new, but in a stereotypical society it is an action that is immensely rare to occur, student’s should be extremely proud of acknowledgement. Girls and women need to be given more credit in different societies since they are just as equal as men if not more. Women should not be stereotyped and limited to just cook and house cleaning since they are plenty more than just that and owing to the fact that they have rights similar to everyone else. For this reason, emotion is an immensely well developed rhetorical device throughout the

  • Student Teaching Paper

    653 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the time approached, my attitude toward student-teaching was one of confidence and in some ways overconfidence. I believed that I was equipped with all of the tools necessary to be a superior teacher. Little did I know what truly goes on behind the scenes of a teacher. Between grading papers, attending meetings, and preparing lessons, I would often feel overwhelmed. Still, student teaching would prove to be much more valuable than I anticipated. It would teach me to appreciate the wisdom of mentors and experienced teachers, value or being organized and prepared, and lastly the resilience of students.
