Rami Basaad








My name is Rami Basaad. I am from Saudi Arabia in Jeddah. I am 20 years old. I came to USA right

after I graduated from the ten top students in my class. Then I got scholarship from the government of

Saudi Arabia to continue my education. I decided to travel to USA for the first time alone. Additionally,

I would like to make my father proud.




I will never forget that first when my father spoke with me. He asked me to come to his office to talk

 about my future. He explained to me how to be successful. Also he gave me some benefits and

structures to build a great life, and he explained to me that eduction is the key to success in life. I took

 every word he said seriously. After that I realized that he want to approach to me to be a good person.

He gave me a period of time to think about what he said.




Finally, English is not my native language. I attend an English as a second language (ALP) program for

 one year. In the ALP program I have met students from all over the word. I made new friends and leaned new

 cultures.
