“My English is not good. Spoken English is very difficult. But I
want to study at Columbia so I am trying to improve. I decided to come to
America because of Forrest Gump. I’ve watched the movie five times. I like
Forrest very much. Forrest is very simple. He picks one thing, and he keeps
going. When I was young, I thought Forrest was stupid. But now I have a
different view. I think people are too complicated. They complain about
everything. Forrest never complains. Forrest chooses one thing and he keeps
going. I watched the movie last month to encourage me. My life is hard because
people don’t ever know what I’m saying. But I just think of Forrest. Forrest
figured everything out because he just kept going.”
