I decided to study at Santa Ana college for two years . During these couple years, I would improve my english and take all general classes. To improve my english, I have learned more vocabularies and practiced speaking and writing everyday. The first semester I couldn't understand what my teacher was talking about. he taught the lecture by showing power points. I took notes and learned it by myself. Not being discouraged, I registered to volunteer on campus. I began working for the service learning center on campus. However, I realized that it didn't help me much with my speaking skills because my assignment was only to enter documents into the computer. Therefore, I changed to another place, the Fremont Elementary School. At this school, I helped the children learn how to read and write simple sentences. During break time, I got to converse with the children and learned a lot from them. Having worked for this school for two months, I improved my speaking and listening skills. From there on, I was able to understand my teachers' lectures and talked to my friends more fluently. Now my current GPA is 3.70 on a 4.00 scale.
