Working as a girl


You may be wondering sitting frustrated in your room talking about and thinking that you would get better opportunities if you had studied abroad.I will not deny the fact the studying abroad has its perks.But the struggles are hard and real.Take me for example.I was always the daddies girl.I never used to work.But when I came to the States I had to.There wasn't any other option than that.At first, I took the job of a waiter.And it was really hard at first.I used to work.My boss never let me sit down and take rest.Later one of my colleagues told me to slip in something like womens shoes for standing all day.

A pair of womens extra wide shoes for swollen feet would have worked pretty fine as well.However as I was saying, that living abroad as an international student is never easy.Coming to the United States for college or graduate school can introduce cultural differences that even the most prepared students might not expect. From classroom etiquette to campus life, studying at a U.S. school can be quite a different experience from learning in another country. At a meeting of Fulbright scholars last month, U.S. News caught up with four international students in their first years of graduate study at universities across the United States. The students said they were enjoying their experience in the Fulbright program, which recruits top students from around the world, and each had a few tips for international students coming to the United States—whether on a Fulbright scholarship or on their own.

Classroom differences are a huge thing in the United States.A U.S. education—particularly at the graduate level–may be more hands-on and interactive than what you've experienced in another country, which could come as a shock to new students who haven't prepared beforehand.The work isn't necessarily harder, she says, but it's different. For example, students in the United States may take fewer courses but delve much deeper into the subject material than they might in Indonesia.Nonetheless, don't make my blog discourage you or anything.I don't mean to do that.I want more international students to come into New York so that they are able to enjoy newer oppurtuinites.But all I am saying is that be prepared of what might just come next.From the bustling streets of New York City to the wide and flat plains of Kansas, it's impossible to geographically define the United States with a single term. That can come as a surprise to international students who haven't researched the area they'll soon be calling home, says Anton Padin Deben, a student from Spain.Some students "come from big cities around the world to the countryside of the U.S.," he notes. "You think you're going to a very good school—which is true—but then there's this very big shock."
