Journal #1

My name is Leslie Ahn. I came here one and half years ago. This semester is third for me, and I feel this time would be more difficult for me. I have two daugthters, and one of them is fourteen years old and another is four. Everyday I have to take my first daughter to and from her school, even though taking care of four year old girl is my husband's job. My busy school days make my family be tired.
In last year, my mother had gone back and forth between here and Seoul for my spring and fall semester. Thanks to her, my family and I was very comfortable. Her visa can let her stay in the USA during six months a year. She plans to come back here this summer. Since I am very tired and miss her, I really want she came back.
Even though I took ALP classes for two semesters, my English skills are getting very slowly improved. If I am confindent to my English skills, I will ask my family to help me to study more. However, the top prior purpose that my family visited the USA was for my first daughter's education, who is going to high school this september. She wants to attend the Northwood high school in Irvine, so we plan to move to Irvine due to early June. Nowadays, I am busier to search the house in Irvine.
