Airport Pick-Up Opens December 1st
Johnson’s Story
I request you to imagine a situation where you are blindfolded, driven for some hours to an unknown location, and then asked to navigate your way around a huge building, all while still blindfolded, this task would certainly be overwhelming. Sadly, this is a fitting metaphor for the experiences of international students coming to America. We arrive with a goal of pursuing our studies, but we encounter numerous challenges: loneliness, adjusting to new weather and cultural norms, financial difficulties, disruptions, homesickness, and all kinds of discrimination sometimes in the midst of these trials, we yearn for a supportive community to help up find our way to our ultimate goal –education.
