My living places
Recalling my living place was so memorable because it related to my history since I grew up. Remembering my past life, I used to live a nomadic life also 2 permanent places.
Since I was born until I entered an elementary school I used to live in countryside permanently. Nomad’s life is extremely busy. They always have to get up early, at least at 5 a.m during the summer time. Since they get up their every day’s work starts until they sleep at 12 o’clock. Even if I was a child I helped my family to care our domestic animals: horses, cows, sheep, and goats. When I was 6 years old I learned how to ride a horse. I used to ride a horse every day for taking care of domestic animals during that time. That time was so wonderful because it was my childhood life. I grew up there, and I’m one of the nomads. Also, it is my one of the great prides. I wish I could return my childhood time if I had a chance.

That happy life didn’t last longer because when I was 8 years old I had to go elementary school. I didn’t like go to school reason why I loved the nomadic life too much. When I began to go school I started to in my school’s dormitory. The first year seemed to me difficult. I missed my home so much. A few times I tried to escape from the dormitory. I seldom went back my home during my school time. I gradually adjusted to school life when I entered second year, and I started to be fascinated by studying. After that time I strongly decided that I should study successfully. I realized that if I studied successfully I would live happily. Then, I focused on how to study very well.

After I finished high school I moved to city for studying at the university. I also used to live in my university’s dormitory until I came here. I lived there 2 and half year, and it was not difficult because I knew how to live in dormitory happily. It was my beginning of an adult life. I learnt how to make food there before I didn’t make any food by myself. I had 3 roommates who are very friendly guys, and they are my best friends. We always shared our sadness and happiness during living together. We were very good advisors to each other as parents.
Now, I have been living at AIU’s dormitory about 8 months. My dormitory has many international students from Mongolia, Korea, Sweden, Germany, Canada, USA, China, and Taiwan. I am delighted to have the chance to meet such a diversity of people in an international and intercultural atmosphere. We learn while doing things together. For example, we celebrate our birthdays as if we were one big family. The dedication words on my birthday card were written in many different languages. That was a most memorable present. During this time I realized what life is and who I am. In other words, my point of view has given way to a more open-minded international consciousness
