Introduction

     Hello, 4B Reading

     My name is Fahad. I was born in the United States, and I grew up in Saudi Arabia. I am interested to post some of my writing in this semester, and looking forward to know more about all of my classmates.

     I was born in the United States, specifically in Hershey. I went back to my country which is Saudi Arabia with my family. I studied and grew up there. After I graduated from high school, I decided to study in the United States, specifically at Penn State, where my father graduated from.

     I now came to State College to learn English in the IECP and complete my studies in the US. Studying in one of the American universities requires international students to get the TOEFL or IELTS score. For that reason, I am studying English to improve my English skills to be able to get that score. In fact, one of the greatest benefits of studying abroad, is I got to know nice people such as my classmates and my friends that knew here in the US.
