My initial reaction

Actually, I did not believe that my dream to study in the United States when I was child will happen. I faced a lot of objection from the family especially my mother. The reason for my mother objection was because my father died in the United States 26 years ago. She did not want me to face the same destiny. I tried a lot to explain to her my view point, but she did not want to hear for me any things. I decided to cancel this trip because I did not want my mother became sad because of me. Before I cancelled the trip my mother came to me and told me she approved it. I was very exciting because my mother was not sad. Then, I was nervous because I did not have time to find admission. Next, I searched looking for a proper university that was in a nice state with a nice weather. Finally, I was afraid from the immigration in the airport and how the American citizens think about the Middle East.

Wow, that was very interesting to read and I'm sorry to hear about your father. I'm glad you chose Carbondale to come to though because it is a pretty safe place to be.
You completed the requirements so far as length but your story ended abruptly. You ended talking about your fears in the airport but you did not mention what happened; whether those fears became reality or if everything was good in the airport. The point of the assignment is for you to learn to tell an entire story in a whole and cohesive manner.
You did very well in the technical aspects of writing and I did enjoy what you had to say. I'm looking forward to what you will write in the future.
