Hello and welcome to the Rosie H's blog, where I will talk about anything and I mean it.
Hello, my name is Podnicha Hugueley. You can call me Rosie.
I was born and raised in a small village in northeastern Thailand.
I moved to Texas in 2010.
My life in Texas is fascinating. Honestly, I think America is a great country.
You can pretty much do whatever you want within reasons.
I mean you can buy stuff. You can return stuff.
FYI, you ABSOLUTELY cannot return stuff in Thailand.
You can wash your clothes whenever you want.
You don't have to wait for sunny days like back in Thailand.
You don't have to wash your dishes by hand. There's a dishwasher.
I mean I can keep going.
My point is that my life here in America, in the state of Texas is wondeful.
FYI, you need some sort of visa to come to America and live comfortably. In my case, I had a thing called F1 visa, aka, student visa. The process of obtaining F1 visa wasn't difficult. You basically prepared documents required by the US Embassy, made an appointment, showed up on your interview date, answered questions and you are done. Fastforward, I got F1 visa. I came to Texas. I attened ESL classes at one of the local colleges in the suburbs of Dallas. ESL classes were not difficult for me at that time because I already have a bachelor degree in English. I took the placement test on the first day of ESL school and was placed at the last level. I wasn't surprised by the results, but my instructors were. The instructors gave me a few more tests to make sure that I could keep up with the class assigments. Well... yes... I could. I have a bachelor degree in English.I spent 2 months at this college. I graduated from their ESL program and...bam!I attended another college.This time it was not ESL class.
I'm not sure if I told you, but I came to America to mainly attend college. After graduating from ESL program at one of the local colleges, I enrolled in another college I took classes that were requirements for nursing school. Classes themselves were interesting, so were the classmates. In my point of view, American, or in this case, north Texas suburb, college classroom, is a very interesting social setting. I had classmates from all walks of life. There were a few fresh high school graduates in my English Composition I. There were several RNs in my Anatomy and Physiology I. I got to know many retail workers, waiters, waitresses in my Introduction to Sociology. It was strange, but yet very interesting for me to take classes with so many people who are from different walks of life. Back in Thailand, it was not a common thing for a 24 year old person to attend a college as a freshman. It was not common for a 35 year old person to enroll in any college classes, except the ones in PhD programs. There is a thing called age limitation in Thailand. Here in America, you can do whatever you want within reason. You can definitely wake up one day and decide to go back to school. You can do anything you put your mind to!
