Firsts in Life
In this month's University Express, Lynn Zhou interviews students around the
world about important firsts in their lives. Read their answers to the question:
What was an important first in life for you?
Miguel: For me, an important first was getting my driver's
license. I got it the moment I turned 18! Being able to drive
my father's car that summer gave me freedom, and made
me feel like an adult. For example, I'm from Madrid, and my
girlfriend is from a suburb about 30 kilometers away. Driving
made it easy for me to see her more frequently. Also, I was
able to take weekend trips with friends to other cities. I really
liked being independent.
Marta: I went on my first date soon after my 16th birthday.
It was with my best friend's brother. He invited· me to a
movie, but we didn't talk much. We were both very shy.
Two weeks, later, I went to a high school dance with him,
and we had a great time. After that, we spent most of
the summer together, but then he and his family migrated
to France. I guess you could say he was my first boyfriend.
Soo-Jin: An important first for me was traveling from Korea
to Europe. When I was 18, I spent the summer with my cousin
backpacking through Europe. It was my first time out of Korea
so I was nervous and reluctant to talk to people. Luckily
I overcame my fears and gradually started to open up. I
learned to be more independent. I made friends with other
travelers at the hostels we stayed at, and I keep in touch with
many of them even now.
