It has been almost 17 months since I immigrated to the USA, ever since then I experienced various kinds of things and I became a much stronger person.
I have made countless mistakes in making friends because of cultural difference and learned that I should keep a space between friends, be polite to them, and wait until friendship become stronger and deeper.
This book is a story about how I become a good friend to others and my special experience of making new friends at Woodbridge High School, Irvine, California.
I think you have almost the same questions I had about making friends in the USA.
How to find new friends?
How to keep good relations with friends?
What is the difference between Korean friends in America and American friends?
What kind of topics to choose to talk with friends?
How to distinguish those who act friendly and your true friends?
How to keep in touch with online friends?
How to communicate with friends?
How to resolve conflict with friends?
How to be happy even when you do not have close friends?
Through this book, I hope you will find answers to the above questions as I did.
I want to share my special experience for you to make many good friends in the USA.
