It was such a great experience when we all made it to the United States as a group of fourteen ladies with Arlene and Dr. Kathryn, they really did good job! We would have not make it without them. We were highly welcomed by Dr. Julia, Terry, and other people from IU.
In my first week, I realized that I have to learn the do’s and don’ts of everything from crossing the roads, to the different signs to pay attention to everywhere and other cultural norms, and I found that I need some more advice on adjusting to classes and academics on campus. I missed home a lot but am happy to learn about new cultures.
Am very grateful to have this chance to came and study at Indiana University. though it has a lot of challenges! and we have scarified to leave our families back, but we are here to take the good seeds that we are going to implant back home, to be the change makers and peace makers in South Sudan.
I would rate this experience as an excellent part of my life. Prof. Terry, Dr. Kathryn, Arlene and Rhonda, professors, and my colleagues -- all of you are great! I really thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
