Being an international student poses a lot of challenges in blending in with the other students. Joining University changed my life from a period of being popular in my country as I had made many friends at school and in the neighborhood and I was engrossed in the popularity lifestyle. After a month in university, I felt lonely and judged, and I did not manage to make any friends. People claimed that I was proud for I was bright, had a lot of money and I was trendy which is what I learned later on. I spent my time in the library in order to end the day and the weekends. One day the guy who lives next door challenge me to attend their Christian fellowship meeting. That meeting changed my feel about believes as I got an interest in discovering religious practices. I also felt comfortable as the people were very friendly. From that day, I was able to make friends, and I even got the confidence to start interacting with people outside the Christian circle.

This made me understand why my parents were successful in building community relationships as the religious practice allowed them to be regarded as trustworthy and gave them a place of interaction with other community members.
