Moving to a new house it’s exciting but moving to a new country it’s terrifying. That’s how I felt when I moved here to the states, terrified. Entering unknown land without knowing a sense of English can be very overwhelming at a young age. Leaving my family was definitely one of the hardest thing I’ve experienced because I couldn’t just drive back to visit them. Even though I was only 12 when I moved from Venezuela, that journey has helped me grow and have a better mindset. I get to see things differently and have a different look on life. I would say that it has definitely help me transition from childhood to adulthood. Because moving with new people, learning a new culture and language is something special yet so stressing. At times I find
I never in my life did expect one day to write an essay for the Spanish Travel Scholarship and to write it in English! Fifteen year ago I was a typical Italian architecture student who, beyond doubt, had not yet established her role in the local, national, and global community, or her purpose in life. I spent my college years making my parents proud, and fulfilling teachers’ expectations. Nevertheless architecture wasn’t my college decision. It was my dad’s dream. When I was six years of age, he lost his engineering firm because of a stroke. He reinvented himself various times, after the stroke, but he has never been able to rebuild his engineering firm from the ashes. My architecture degree was his last opportunity to reopen his beloved
Moving to an unfamiliar country during my teenage years is a big dramatic change for me. I dealt with a lot of anxiety and insecurities on how different I am from everyone else. To help me get started, I registered with just one class at my local community college. Living with my mother and to someone, I now call my father, I was
Coming to the United States has changed my life. When I was in my country, life wasn't easy for me. My dad used to live in the U.S I was in Dominican Republic. Because my dad was in the U.S it was difficult for me, brother and sister. My mom didn't get pay a lot and food were really expensive. After I came to the U.S I saw a lot change I my life.

When moving to a new place, the first thoughts that comes to mind, "Moving to a different school? Meeting new people?" The terrifying thoughts coursed through my mind causing me to freeze in cold sweat thinking of all the horrible things to come with this new chapter of my life. Regardless, I am a fearless adventurer ready to take one a whole new exciting journey to exotic places, experiencing new cultures, meeting different people.
At first, I was resistant to change but now I am glad I became open-minded and adapted to the new way of life. It was not an easy transition for me, however, I have faced every obstacles head on such as learning a new language, graduating from high school, and attending college. I can honestly say my mom was right I have made new friends and have grown to love and appreciate my family members that I have met. I know there will be more awesome moments in my life that can have a major impact, but I truly believe they will never be as big as me coming to
Moving far away from family and friends can be tough on a child at a young age. It has its pros and cons. One learns how to deal with moving away from the people they love and also learn how to deal with adjusting to new ways of life. Everything seems so different and at a young age one feels like they have just left the whole world behind them. That was an experience that changed my life as a person. It taught me how to deal with change and how to adjust. It developed me from a young boy into a mature young man.
United States is the most diverse country in the world. The US takes about 70000 refugees a year from all over the world, and I was one of the many refugees that were living in place that was isolated place in Ethiopia. When I first knew that I am going to US, I was enchanted that I am going to have a prosperous future. I was also happy that I am going to have all the freedom that any human being wants to have. Additionally, I was delighted that I am going to meet my family after so many years of separation. Migrating to US is the best thing that ever happen to me at least for the first couple of years, however, my expectations were diminished when I experienced life is not easy or apparent like I expected it to be.
When humans reflect on their lives they often categorize things by their location at the time of the event, grouping their college experience separately from their hometown high school experiences. This association with place causes us to view an unwanted movement as an attack on our personal way of living. I first experienced such an affront when I was in the first grade, my family and I moved to a small town about three hours away from San Angelo. My father wanted to be closer to his aunt and uncle so he seemingly forced me and to tag along for the experience. I didn’t want to move away from my grandparents or my friends, the thought alone would cause me to cry. I had to leave behind all my friends, my family I
It was a beautiful, sunny day in South Florida. I was six years old, playing by the pool with my new puppy. I loved swimming in the pool almost every day after school. I also enjoyed going out on our boat after school or crossing the street and going to the beach. My father came home one evening with some interesting news. Now, I do not remember exactly how I felt about the news at that time, but it seemed like I did not mind that much. He had announced that we were going to move back to my birth country, Belgium. I had been living in Florida for five years and it was basically all I had known so I did not know what to expect. I had to live with my mom at first, and then my sister would join us after she graduated high school and my father
The most effective thing of moving to another country is the education of me and teenagers like me. It is often said that children are resilient, new languages easily adjust to changes in their environment more easily than adults(sara 1).I agree with this because moving to america make people learn quicker .The biggest change is that people become more creative and powerful.
How might it feel, when moving starting with one nation then onto the next? Envision a man moving starting with one side of the world then onto the next. I am initially from Bagdad, Iraq. I exited Iraq in 2006 when the greater part of the debasement started, the executing was arbitrary. The scenes that I saw were lamentable. In 2006, I moved to Egypt where I was presented with new life, new culture, and new vernacular to learn. In Egypt if an architect is destitute it is not a shock; the degree in Egypt has no quality. My uncle had a building degree, yet he was unemployed. Around then, I was in center school and I understood that Egypt is not the spot that I need to be in light of the fact that, I didn 't have a future there. My granddad dependably uses to say that I ought to buckle down now, and put my best exertion, so I could have a vacation and rest for whatever remains of my life. However in Egypt having a degree or not it would not make any difference at all and my objective in life is to learn, and continue adapting new things to fulfill my desire. My fantasies and objectives would have been demolished on the off chance that I stayed there. My high aspiration would have been a waste; I needed chances to show myself to the world. Staying in Egypt would not have benefited me in any way, other than squandering time.
Being the child I was; I hadn't bothered to understand my heritage, learn where my ancestors originated from, or even adapt to the society. I couldn't grasp the idea that my family would willingly choose to visit and remember "this desert". Fast forward four years later to a self-confident, proud, mature adult. I have never been more thankful for the way things played out. Moving to Egypt was truly my transition from adolescence to adulthood. The short story is I moved to Egypt to start high school and I honestly believed that my parents were purposely trying to inflict emotional trauma on me. I hadn't only switched continents, I switched planets. I couldn't understand people but not because of the language barrier. People interacted differently. The first year was the hardest because of several factors that decided to take place. Maybe it was the hormones that decided to go into overdrive or the culture shock that hit like a tsunami but without this experience, I wouldn't be who I am today. This event marked my transition from childhood to adulthood because it allowed me to see the world through a different
Typically, people like to think getting up and moving to another country is as easy as it sounds. People leave their home countries for various reasons, to escape as a refugee, or immigrate for a change in life. As easy as it seems to be there are so many roadblocks along the way. The country was created thousands of years ago as the holy land but over time, it has gone through different rulers and at many times the Jewish people of Israel was exiled and forced to leave the only country they knew. The history of Israel is important because it dictates as to why immigration and leaving that country to go to others in the Middle East is impossible. People have been dealing with war, military, religious, and gender regulations in Israel
In Chilean society it is very common for young adults to live with their parents until they graduate from college, and in some cases for even longer. Personally the moment that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was to break the Chilean paradigm and venture, by myself, to a completely different country and culture. When I left Chile for Canada to start my college career at the University of British Columbia I had absolutely zero skills to survive on my own. The first week was full of challenges, having to open a bank account for the first time, setting up my own phone and even something as simple as doing laundry. I had to slowly learn all of these skills, be it from my family or friends, and slowly I could feel myself achieving
The moving process is stressful when moving within the same neighborhood, city, or state. Moving from the current residence to another home in a different country is on a different level. International moving contains many challenges in addition to the move. A foreign country requires newcomers to learn the language, currency, and laws along with the neighborhood and city locale. The best international movers meet more qualifications than being inexpensive, fast, and award winning. It's not sufficient because belongings are crossing borders and oceans. International movers must have these six additional requirements.
