My Experience At The End Of The Tunnel

“Times of transition are strenuous, but I love them. They are an opportunity to purge, rethink priorities, and be intentional about new habits. We can make our new normal any way we want”. -Kristin Armstrong. When I heard this quote it reminds me of a specific time in my life when I moved to another country. There are a couple of events that helped me become who I am now.

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

There are many significant parts of my life that have had a huge impact on my personality, but there is one that has not only affected me, but has changed me for the better. My personal life changing experience was coming to America. For me, this bridge between my old life and new life is a shaky bridge that I attempted to cross and entered a whole new realm of life which changed everything. The decision about coming to America has taught me how to respect other people, be more responsible, and be more loving towards various friends and families. It has also helped me adapt to the new life that I’m about to begin. It was so unexpected. Out of nowhere my parents broke the news: “We’re going to America!” Living in a big town of Bhopal,

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

So far in my life I have moved eight times and been to twelve different schools. I’m not talking about just moving houses. I’m talking about eight times, packing all of my things and moving to a whole different state. In all this I have learned the most important quality that anyone needs to get through all of the hardships and changes in moving. That quality is courage.

However, at the same time, I wasn’t ready to leave my new friends, my new closeness to my family, and my accomplishments that I’d have to soon leave in the past. The thought of having to start all over terrified me the

Knowing how to adapt to change has been, perhaps, the most supportive characteristic in my life. My experience moving to Texas was a huge challenge which I had trouble overcoming. I lost friends, an amazing environment, and also the future I had planned for myself while living in Minnesota. Through that life-changing event though, I did come across pleasant change. My relationship with God became more concrete, and I was given new opportunities for my future. Although I did not understand it at the time, my relocation improved my education quality, turned me into a better person, and gave a new outlook to my walk with God

Everything started to look up as I changed, tweaked and learned more. I became friends with so many great people as they helped me beyond measures to adjust to such a big change. On another note, my family began to get in a routine as my dad also gained a better paying job in Danville, as well as both of my parents becoming less stressed out. Eventually, everything began to flow smoothly

In times when everything becomes so foreign it is comforting to know I always have Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost standing besides me and guiding me to do what is right.I’ve learned that when changing your life around it is exceedingly important to have a Christ centered life. I’ve gained the ability to adapt to change while remaining positive. Relocating allowed me to refocus my life., but I bounced back with a 3.8 GPA my junior year. I had to pick myself up off the ground and prove that I had what it takes. Not everyone was going to believe in me, but if I believe in myself that's all that matters. With hard work, positivity, and perseverance anything is possible. In life you will have to face hardship and the best thing to do is look it straight on with a smile and tackle it.My favorite part about moving is meeting new people. It is incredible that I have the opportunity to meet new people with different backgrounds and experiences from me. I love connecting with people and creating lasting

Moving schools and neighborhoods was when I first felt like a stranger in the village, but in this case it’s not a village. Attending my new school was so hard to get comfortable with, but I managed. I made friends instantly and made new memories. Unfortunately some problems with my dad didn’t change and he would try to meddle with my mom's life and control her still which wasn’t good for my mom.

Back in Grenada where I grew up, there were limited options academically and financially. So my mom and I decided to move to the US. At the age of 13, I knew it would have been a tough transition. Whether it was academically or socially, adapting to the New York way of things was probably the toughest challenge I have endured.

The film Angela’s Ashes presents the memoir of a young boy, Frankie “Frank” McCourt, who was the eldest son of Irish immigrants, Malachy and Angela McCourt. As Frank grows up in the McCourt family, it was very difficult for everyone because of the problems they faced, from an alcoholic father to the loss of multiple children. They all individually encountered challenges in life where they learned to survive through. In the end, Frank is able to achieve his goal of leaving Ireland and his harsh childhood behind, for the chance of a new beginning in America.

To start off with, as a transfer student coming from a local state college to the University of Central Florida was a huge change. It was a different change because it was the first time I was going to be away from home. I have spent the last twenty-one years under my parent’s wings and it was time to grow and flourish, but that is much easier said than done, it would also be much easier if I was not such a shy person. But my decision

When I think about an event that sticks out in my mind as one that was very important in my life, I think about changing schools in the seventh grade. About halfway through my middle school career, I became very unhappy at my school and with life in general. Upon discussing with my parents, we made the decision that I would switch schools and embark on a new journey in hopes to appease my unhappy soul. At first, I felt as if a new school would not help; little did I know what a profound change it would have on my life.

I’ve lived in three different states and attended six schools over the past eight years. Relocating from Texas to Michigan, and later Michigan to Georgia were big adjustments for me. I missed my friends and close relatives. However, I knew I had to make the best of my circumstances. Through these experiences, I began to learn to be more flexible, become more open-minded to different traditions, and be adventurous in different parts of the country-I played volleyball, joined a dance team, and even went skiing! At school, I also focused on excelling in my classes and challenge myself like I did when adjusting to a new town.
