New Life (If you have better title, plz write in comments :-)
I was 9 when my father left me for U.S. Since then I lived with my mother in China, for 5 years. I spent most time doing school work and my grades are pretty good. After going to high school for a month with a broken ankle, I dropped out of high school and came to U.S. with my mother to start a new life.
It was a 14 hour flight. On the plane, I realized that there are too many things I have lost so much. I will not have a big dinner with my family at Chinese New Year’s Eve. I will not play fire crackers with my cousin at Chinese New Year. I will not have vacation at Chinese New Year. I will not have mooncakes for mid-autumn festival. I will not play video games with my friends...
After a few naps, we reached John F. Kennedy International Airport.
As I look above, the sky is azure blue. I could hardly see that sky color in China because of pollution resulted from rapid industrialization. After picking up luggages, when we walked out of lobby, I saw my father waving to us. It’s a reunion after 5 years. Then we moved our luggages to our apartment in Staten Island. Before going to bed, we got online to tell relatives that we arrived safely.
The next day, I was walking in a mall, saw many stores selling various merchandise. And there was a eyebrow threading place looks really appealing to me. They plucked hair with just a thin cotton thread. And there was a stall selling old video game console. There was Super Mario which I used to play with my friends. I played a few rounds with a girl. She was surprised when I told her I came here yesterday.
2 months later, I started to go to school at Port Richmond High School. I was in grade 10 in China. But the first grade of high school in U.S. is grade 9. So I was downgraded. First day of school, it doesn’t feel like home.
I knew that the obstacles that I had to go through would be burdensome. Indeed, I have experienced a language barrier which is the greatest challenge in my life.

What does this quote mean? Can someone summarize it? 谁能翻译或者概括一下这段话?
According to Agee:
It seems to me curious, not to say obscene and thoroughly terrifying that it could occur to an association of human beings drawn together through need and chance and for profit into a company, an organ of journalism, to pry intimately into the lives of an undefended and appallingly damaged group of human beings, an ignorant and helpless rural family, for the purpose of parading the nakedness, disadvantage, and humiliation of these lives before another group of human beings. (from Let Us Now Praise Famous Men)

How Does Internet Impact Freedom?
The Internet has become a major source of information for users worldwide. It brings people lots of free information and creates a community. On the other hand, the Internet brings people biased and inaccurate information. In general, the Internet has given people more pros than cons. For example, it enables people to gather information quickly and communicate with friends and family. Moreover, Internet gives users many ways to entertain themselves.
First of all, Internet is a great tool to get information. Deborah Fallows, a senior research fellow, states that:" 92% of Internet users say the Internet is a good place to go for getting everyday information. 87% of Internet users who ever use maps or get driving directions do this online. 69% of Internet users who say they get weather reports get such reports online." This shows that people admire the Internet as a tool for conducting their everyday activities, and they gain freedom from the Internet. Furthermore, people can also do a lot more on the Internet. For example, finding out the news, checking sports scores, etc. These online activities improve the user's freedom greatly.
The freedom is also improved by online communication such as instant messaging, e-mails, online video chat etc. These activities expand the methods of communication in user's lives and provide a lot more convenience. According to Deborah Fallows's report, "79% of Internet users who say they communicate with friends and family use the Internet for such communications. 52% of Internet users who exchange greetings, cards and invitation go online to do so. 46% of Internet users who say they ever plan gatherings and arrange personal meetings use the Internet for such purposes." Therefore, Internet has greatly improved communication. It not only saves time, but also provides multi-functional communication and freedom for Internet users.
Further more, Internet provides many ways for people to entertain themselves such as playing games, watching movies and videos, listening to music, etc. Deborah Fallows's report shows that 46% of the Internet users who ever play games do so online. 34% of the Internet users who say they have hobbies go online to pursue their hobbies. 23% of the Internet users who say they listen to music or radio regularly do so online. Internet becomes an important source of entertainment. Thus, it improved the freedom of Internet users even further.

Personal Statement for College Admission NEED HELP!(need creative ideas and what do college want)
One should always face challenges. There were many challenges and changes that I had to face. Two of them are the most difficult and significant.
I was born and raised in China. I took 7 courses in junior high school. And I did extremely well in Math, Physics and Chemistry. Physics is the best and my favorite subject. I often got perfect scores and best scores in my class. I also hope that I can do a job which has involvement with Physics. I will enjoy it.
In 2009, I took The High-school Entrance Examination which is the second most important exam in China. That was a big challenge for me. But I did so much practice in my junior high school so I am confident that I can go to a good high school. I did good but I am not satisfied with it. After that I went to No.2 High School in Shenyang City which is also ranked second in the whole province. However, my parents decided to move to US. So I had to drop out and left for U.S at the end of 2009. That also means I won't go to college in China. And I got a great opportunity to learn knowledge and western culture. Nevertheless, I had to overcome the most difficult challenge ever—English, before I acquire the new skills.
I can still remember when I first speak to an American, I felt so nervous and didn't understand what she said because I rarely heard English in that kind of speed. So I have to get a friend to translate for me. I know the best way to learn a language is to be immersed in it. But my feeling about English is too weak to understand passages or use words correctly. So I keep listening, watching English videos, looking up words and trying to talk with other people. Now I can see my improvement apparently in my freshman year. I can understand gradually and communicate with them.
I found the Math and Science were much easier than my junior high school classes. Friends and teachers called me a genius. Especially after I took both Algebra and Geometry Regents and scored double 100 on them. And in my sophomore year, I scored 100 in Chemistry Regents, 99 in Algebra 2 Regents, 77 in English Regents. In my junior year, I took English Regents again and scored 99 in English Regents. Nobody could believe this, including me. I felt I didn't waste my perspiration, it encouraged me to learn more and do the best I can.
Challenge is a spring, if you are weak, it will be strong; if you are strong, it will be weak. Bruce Lee told us,"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a different one."
