How I did it
It made me
Happy. 
How I did it: I signed up to run for Class Office. I then prepared for my speech, over time. In the end, I delivered my speech, after worrying and fretting for weeks. Read how I did it…
It made me
OK. 
How I did it: It was very simple. I went online, and made a Google Site. I then began typing, from a piece of paper, and, therefore, self-published. It is an excellent idea. Read how I did it…
It made me
Pensive
How I did it: I checked The Fountainhead from my school. Then I read it, over quite some time.It took some time, and I almost never finished the book. However, with great strength, I finally finished it. Read how I did it…

Ok. I had it easy. My parents both are Chinese, and most of my family is still in China. However, it still took quite a long time.
I cannot remember my early years of studying, for I was young. However, starting at about age 9, my parents stopped teaching me at home, and enrolled me into a Chinese school, at an Omaha, NE, library.
This continued, until I moved to Chicago, IL. However, as soon as I moved to the suburbs, I went back to a Chinese school.
Then I moved again.
Currently, I am still enrolled in a Chinese school, and my Chinese has improved, far from the lad of 10 I once was.
I expect to be out of the class come May 2010.
