In my Advanced Composition class, we did our first assignment, which was to write one paragraph about "Where Are You From".
“Where Are You From”
I am a veterinarian from Japan, interested in learning more about veterinary infectious disease and cultures in other countries in U.S. There are two things that have a strong affect on me, my father, and my hometown. My father, who is also a vet, has had an important influence on my life. He has shown me his work, woke up earlier, and went to bed later than me since I was little. His passion and curiosity for his work and academic area made me think that I want to be like my father. I became a vet this March and came here to prepare for my application to graduate schools to study more about veterinary infectious diseases. My hometown is Kumamoto prefecture in Japan. It is known for agricultural products such as the Guinness size orange, rush and horse meats. In a typical countryside like my hometown, people expect you to be like everybody else. I have been in U.S for 3 years since I was 3 years old, so I have been categorized as a weird girl since I came back to Japan. I like to be unique but hate to be judged. I want to understand people who are different from me, and I have started to be interested in the lingual and cultural differences with other countries.

based on Fumiko's critic, tried to rewrote this here
