ANOTHER CULTURAL EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA: On the first day of school - TopicsExpress



          

ANOTHER CULTURAL EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA: On the first day of school at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), I was dressed very well in my African attire (skirt skirt) with my gold set thinking it was the same dress up thing we did at the University of Liberia. I felt very embarrassed on that first day because the rest of the American students were casually dressed up in jeans and jogging pants and some even wore their pajama pants. They quickly recognized that I was Johnny Just Come and I could not wait to get home because I felt so different, lol. Thanks to my American mom who later took me to the mall and got me some popular American clothes like jeans, jogging pants and tennis shoes for me to fit in with my fellow college mates, but I refused to ever wear pajama at school or anywhere else, lol. PJ (pajama) is a night wear only intended to be wore at ones home, lol.
