the personal details make it easier for a reader to find something relatable with. I've never experienced being an international student but this piece gives a first hand look which is nice as a different perspective. Especially when students walk away from reading this piece they now have a better or more sympathetic understanding of what international students experience. Also because the details where very honest this helps to evoke emotion from the reader. Personally I understand the importance of seeing family and after reading I have a new found respect for international students who do not get the opportunity to. This text was emotional and well written.
