People ask me why I am here, they even say it's just a wastage of one academic year(as my academic performance here at school will not be counted back home). They think being in America is just a name of partying and having fun!
So they better give this a read:
Although it's my 5th month here but I am surprised the way I have changed. It wasn't only a journey from from Pakistan to America! I call it a journey from a lil brat to a responsible person. A journey from an irresponsible teen to the one who understands her responsibility well. A journey from a girl who never kept her mouth shut until someone yelled at her, telling her to stop, to a girl who now knows how to speak and when to speak. A journey from the one who wanted everything she liked to a girl who knows what to get and what to not. A journey from the one who never cared about the prices of the items she wanted to buy to a girl who can now manages her monthly budget very well. A journey from the one who never got out of bed unless her mother yelled at her to the one who gets up at 6 in the morning on a single alarm. A journey from a girl who's room was nothing but a mess to the girl who manages her room well. A journey from a girl who always wanted "hot breakfast" to be waiting for her in the morning to the girl who now feels a pleasure to prepare her breakfast by her own. A journey the one who called herself a horrible cook to someone who cooks well know(yes! it tastes so good). A journey from the girl who never thought of living away from her cellphone to the girl who DONOT uses it anymore(over usage isn't a good idea believe me). A journey from the girl who always hated to be home to the one who now knows how good is it to be home. A journey from "A" girl to "the" girl. A journey from "I cannot" to "yes, I can". A journey from my dreams to the reality. A journey from carelessness to carefulness.   A journey from "who cares" to "I should care". A journey from "irresponsibility" to "responsibility". A journey from "immaturity" to "maturity". A journey from the one who always wished to be out of her country to the one who now says "I LOVE MY COUNTRY"
Last but not the least, a journey from the one who hated writing to the one who is writing ^ this all.
Yes mama! I have changed! I am surprised by my self :)
Oh my word! I never realized I was a "BRATTY" girl :)
But no more Mama!
 Now for those who questioned and even criticized  me on the reason for being here! I question you. Do you think going to school is all about graduating with a degree full of straight A's? Thank you so much, I don't want a degree if this is true. I want to be a good human being first and then a good student. This year ( only in 5 months) taught me all of these little things which I never learned during my whole school life ( 12 years).And I was going to be the same if I didn't came here!
  For all those who think being here is just luck and not a big deal at all then I invite them to give a try and to see how easy or how HARD it is to be here.
