AMES Memory
In this year early, I got the message that I would come to Salt Lake City for this academic
exchange year. When I first know the school name, Academy for Math,Engineering and Science,
I felt confused about which kind of high school it is and also I didn’t know much about Utah. I
looked up the internet to get more information about AMES, and knew that this is a charter
school which affiliated to University of Utah , and this school is a top 2 high school in Utah.
I was nervous about my this study year until the first day I joined school. Because of the late of the first class, the teacher used lunch time to help me learn all contents which I missed, not only the key points. This period of physic class was the experiment about the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable, and the teacher asked me repeat the steps like the students in class did. Thanks to this, I can joined all parts of next period without uncomfort which maybe caused by that I hadn’t experienced last period.
The teacher know my native language is not English and I just have been here several weeks
(early days in AMES), so they are very nice to me. In the first physics test, the physics teacher
told me I can free use dictionary. In calculus class, the teacher always come to my place and
help me understand the words I didn’t know. When calculus teacher knew I can easy understand what the words meaning are by graphing, she started to use more graph in her class and explain them to me. During this progress, although I sometimes could not understand them very clearly,they still didn’t lose their patient to me and tried different ways to help me and never give up.
Since I came here, I realize that study is not only thing in a high student’s life. The school
encourage students can really relax during the break and doesn’t give students too much
homework to do in break. Also the school focus on protect the privacy of students’ grade. The
teachers never tell anybody’s grade in front of class even commend the student who get goodgrade. Teachers don’t give pressure to students let them must get higher grade and go to better universities, but they tried their best to help students if they need help.
I have spend almost half of this academic in AMES, and there are still will be more to impress me. Thanks to this chance, let me get in touch of more real general American students life.
