    Ahn Kim never planned to study outside her native Korea. Her brother was
    student in Massachusetts, but Ahn Kim was happy to stay in Seoul with her family. One
    day a letter came from Ahn's uncle. He needed help. He invited Ahn to go to work in his
    shop in New York City. Ahn's uncle sold fruit and vegetables in a small shop in Queens.
    Ahn's parents thought it was a good opportunity. Ahn didn't want to disappoint them,
    so she went.
    When Ahn Kim first arrived in the United States from Korea, she was very sad and
    frightened. She was living with her uncle's family in their small crowded apartment. She
    worked in the shop every day. She could speak to her aunt and uncle, but she couldn't
    communicate with anyone else. The world outside of the shop and the apartment was
    almost totally incomprehensible to her. Ahn could not read a street sign, ask a question,
    or understand directions. Ahn's brother spoke English well. He had lived in the United
    States for a long time. Ahn's life changed for the better when she decided to go to
    Newton Community College to take English classes. This school is located on the corner
    of Broad Street and First Avenue.
    Today Ahn is still studying English. She has also enrolled in business classes at the
    community college. She moved out of her uncle's apartment and into a rooming house
    with other young people. She has many friends. Although she still plans on returning to
    Korea, she is happy and grateful that she had the chance to go to the United States.

    would get an opportunity. One day, his school announced a competition for a scholarship to
    study in Canada. Joel entered the competition and won.
    Joel was thrilled when he heard about winning the scholarship. He was going to study art
    in Canada. He didn't cry when he said goodbye to his family. He couldn't wait to get to Canada.
    He was excited about going to the university and meeting people from all over the world.
    However, after a few weeks away from his native country, Joel felt very unhappy. He was
    homesick and lonely. The other students were nice, but it was hard for him to speak English all
    day. His classes were interesting, but they were hard. He had to spend many hours every day
    working in the library. It was a lonely life. He began to wish he hadn't won the scholarship at
    all.
    Then after two or three months, Joel began to feel better. His English improved, and he
    spent more time with other students. Now he is very happy. The university feels like home,
