I think the biggest change in my life so far is I've become more independent. When I was in Taiwan, I have one older sister and one younger brother. So my parents always put a heavy responsibility on my sister. Since I'm the middle child, I don't need to play a very important role. I was a dependent person when I was in Taiwan.
American students are more independent than in Taiwan.
They're parents will support them until their graduation. But here it seems students need to find part time job during the semester.
