Self Introduction

I'm Firat from Turkey. My hometown is Van placed at east part of Turkey at border of Iran. I can speak Turkish, Kurdish and a little bit English.

I'm graduate student at mathematics department. This is my second semester in USA. To be honest, I didn't make a good start at USA. I came here on January. Around that time the weather was terrible cold. I used to have an American dream in my mind which did't match in East Lansing. At first glance, I thought  it is small town and there is limited things to do. Everything became so hard. The hardest part was that I could't speak with Americans and couldn't understand them well. Actually, I like communicate with people and make new friends, but coming here I lost my skill. The ability of express myself the way I wanted . Eventually, I developed extreme homesickness. I really wanted to go home. And I used to ask myself that "what am I doing here?".This feeling is called cultural shock. And I think I am handling it. And I believe that this course will serve my adjustment process.
Beyond this, I like travelling and doing sports activities such as soccer, basketball.
