The first session of today's lesson made me realize that the hardship I have experienced as a foreigner in a new culture and country was a very common path for the most immigrants. Why do we come? What are our dreams? How much do we accomplish? I believe that our hard life and the strong desire to be able to build a better future for our children, makes us persevere and overcome challenges.
I also liked the part where everyone got to introduce themselves and ask questions. Some of my own questions were answered, and some others were born. I was surprised to see so many Asian people having similar questions as me (someone who knows almost nothing about East Asia). I have learned a lot seeing all those tables and charts comparing US to China. It was interesting/shocking to see all those tremendous numbers of ever-growing economic lead of China.
