Moving to another country is a huge, scary, life-changing but moving to another country alone is even bigger, scarier, and more life-changing. Trying a new things can be exciting but it can also be scary. Sometimes things may not turn out exactly as you had hoped but I rather move to another country with many failure than just stay in Laos forever. Yes something bad could happen. But something bad could happen when i walk out my front door tomorrow, too. My biggest fear moving to another country on my own is loneliness. I always thinking what I going to do when I move to study in foreign country because I really don't like to be alone, I have no clue who i'm going to talk with; I thought the only way to entertain me was my phone and food. I also worry about money, I scared I will run …show more content…
Sometimes my family goes out and live me with my dog. One of my fear was ghost, I always listen to ghost story and watch horror movies but I'm very frightened , Thai and Japan ghost was the best. I always think of them when I taking a bath and before I sleep. If the cottage where I live have a ghost how I going live. Being alone is not that bad because you can do whatever you want or go wherever you want and no one knows me or my stories of from the past. I may be moving to a country with a language and culture completely different from mine own, and being in an unfamiliar with it can be frighten. Making new friends is depend on the location where I located, If the there is full of people in my age and with similar backgrounds and interests, I will not have a problem finding a new group of friends. Seeing new parts of the world forces me to realize just how little am
There are many different fears that one may have including: Monophobia, the fear of being alone, Agoraphobia, the fear of being in crowded places, and Achluophobia, the fear of being in the dark. While looking at these different phobias, one may notice that they all are specific ways that a person may act depending on the setting they are in. It is common for authors to place their characters in a designated setting to reveal the most basic traits of human conduct. In Lord of the Flies, William Golding establishes to his readers the type of isolation that a group of young boys would feel by putting them on a deserted island with no adults, having to adapt to the setting, and learn to survive and get along in a small, confined space. Similarly, in I Only Came to Use the Phone, Garcia Marquez also portrays the big idea of isolation by making the setting of the story a sanatorium for mentally disturbed women. Maria, the main character, whose car broke down in the middle of the desert, was taken to the institution to use the phone to call home, but once she got there she was separated from the rest of the world and was forced to stay there forever. In both stories the setting is very peaceful at the beginning, and so are the characters. As the stories continue, the setting starts to fall apart until the end where the setting is complete chaos, and the characters also become chaotic. One also will see that in the nighttime, characters become immoral about their decisions and actions. Throughout Lord of the Flies and I Only Came to Use the Phone the interaction between the setting and the characters shows a complete parallel. Depending on what the setting is, the characters will act in different ways.
There are many challenges that one must face as we go through life. I have faced a few myself, however, none proved more challenging than moving from my country; Jamaica, to the United States and subsequently moving to the state of Wisconsin. Deciding to leave behind family and friends is the hardest decision to make, however, there are a few things that I was not prepared for that made the transition more challenging than expected. Moving away from all that is familiar culturally, socially and economically can be even more of a daunting task than imagined. There are things that are taught to us by our parents and others that are more dictated by our environment than anything else, so when I immigrated to the United States I had three major challenges to overcome.
Fear is a feeling no one wants to admit they have. A young child, though, will say what they are afraid of, but as one gets older the more they want to be looked as a tough person. Zack Wamp puts it perfectly, no one should be scared or afraid to go into the future, but yet be intrigued into stepping into a new light of knowledge and learning. In Chinua Achebe's book Things Fall Apart he shows the Ibo people and their fear, superstition, response to fear and the British.
Have you imagined leaving your homeland behind and settling in a different country? As a kid I always enjoyed the idea of traveling the world, and discovering new things, but never had thought it would be very hard to let go everything and leave. Growing up, I was always eager to meet new people, learn new languages, and make my own adventures in life. Soon, that dream turned into reality when my family decided to move to the United States of America in hopes of having a better future and new opportunities. I had mixed feelings and was confused about what to expect in the future. However, this was the biggest fear I have ever faced in my life. It was difficult to get adjusted to a new culture challenging because change brings the unknown and unfamiliar with it.
New country means new language, new culture, new people and different lifestyle. I never thought of being somewhere where you don’t know the language and people. For my parent and me the difficult part was learning new language. Since, I and my sister were going to school, so we knew Basic English. But for my parents adopting new language after so many years was really tough. Since, my dad had his own business, he also had to take care that before we move to us.
A fear that I have is a fear of death, death is always around and it can happen at anytime. In Salem everyone fear death because people are being accused of doing witchcraft or being a
Coming to a foreign country is a daunting experience. When I first moved to America, I had to leave everything behind such as, - my family,friends, and life back home. Although I welcomed the change, I was also afraid. This fear hovered over me for a long time before I had the courage to let it go. My experiences, both good and bad, allowed me to break out of my shell, become a leader for my family, and strive against all the odds to achieve my goals.
Nobody really likes moving. At least I know, I don 't. Moving to another place you have no idea about is tough. When I was 14, my father petitioned my family to move to the United States. Upon hearing that news from my mother, I was devastated. Devastated that I have to leave the place that I grew up, leaving all my friends and family. I have to travel 10,000 miles across the glove to live in a place I have never been to. I have very little idea about United States before moving, I have only seen this place through screen, watched movies such as "High School Musical." From what I have heard and seen life seemed so much easier and happier in the US, but once I stepped out of the plane, I knew it would not be even close to what I have pictured in my mind.
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.
Have you ever had to move to another state? If you have move to another state, I know how you feel. You might had have friends that you were really close to, but then it turns out that you have to leave them because your parents got a new job or something else happened. Well let me tell you my experience, based on why I had to move.
2011, I was 6 at the time and we has recently moved to Germany. Since my dad was in the army, we moved around a lot. Before Germany, we lived in Texas for a while. When we moved, I started skiing with my father. He was a snowboarder, so I started with snowboarding but that wasn’t for me. My dad had a friend, who had a daughter and I was friends with his daughter. We were around the same age and we went to the same elementary school, Landstuhl Elementary School, on the army base. Her name was Keeli but I called her Kiwi, she was around the same height as me, maybe a little shorter, and she had blonde shoulder length hair. During one of our trips, we went to Switzerland, Europe to ski. Keeli and I got a private instructor and we had lessons everyday.
Everything seems like it’s falling out of place, it’s going too fast, and my mind is out of control. I think these thoughts as I lay on my new bed, in my new room, in this new house, in this new city, wondering how I got to this place. “My life was fine,” I say to myself, “I didn’t want to go.” Thinking back I wonder how my father felt as he came home to the house in Stockton, knowing his wife and kids left to San Diego to live a new life. Every time that thought comes to my mind, it feels as if I’m carrying a ten ton boulder around my heart; weighing me down with guilt. The thought is blocked out as I close my eyes, picturing my old room; I see the light brown walls again and the vacation pictures of the Florida and camping trip stapled to them. I can see the photo of me on the ice rink with my friends and the desk that I built with my own hands. I see my bed; it still has my checkered blue and green blanket on it! Across from the room stands my bulky gray television with its back facing the black curtain covered closet. My emotions run deep, sadness rages through my body with a wave of regret. As I open my eyes I see this new place in San Diego, one large black covered bed and a small wooden nightstand that sits next to a similar closet like in my old room. When I was told we would be moving to San Diego, I was silenced from the decision.
Living in another country is always accompanied by change. It would illogical to deny the fact that living in another country-in another language and culture, principally leads to personal development. The different aspects of personality suspend and one takes on the mannerisms, qualities and opinions that define the people in a foreign country (Kohls 9). Nothing is wrong with the change. In the first place, it is a major reason why the individual moved to the new country-they wanted to evolve by putting...
Afraid of a place where it may be difficult to escape from? This is likely just a normal emotion of fear but, it may be Agoraphobia. “Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder that manifests as a fear of situations where escape could be difficult, or in which help would not be available if something bad were to happen.” Many people misunderstood the meaning of agoraphobia of a fear of open spaces. Agoraphobia is much more complex than that. About 1.8 million Americans over the age of 18 have agoraphobia without a history of panic disorder. Agoraphobia is listed as an anxiety disorder. An anxiety disorder is when a feeling of anxiety doesn’t go away and grows worse over time. Agoraphobia often develops after having one or more panic attacks. This can lead to various fears, such as the fear of open spaces and the fear of elevators. Places that can cause agoraphobia include those that can make a person feel embarrassed, helpless, or trapped, such as crowded areas, bridges, public transport and remote areas. People who have agoraphobia are suggested to have a companion with them when going to public places. Researchers say that agoraphobia still remains unclear, but is thought that areas of the brain that control the fear response may play a role. A person with agoraphobia will commonly fear spending time alone, being in crowded places, open spaces, or small spaces, embarrassment, or of showing embarrassment, etc. They can also experience feelings besides fear which are, detachment from others, a feeling that the body is not reel, and agitation. Some people become overly dependent on others or remain housebound for long periods of time. A person with agoraphobia will also experience physical symptoms such as, chest pain, dizziness, and trembling. People who experience panic attacks may change how they act and function in everyday activities. They can become depressed and commit suicide. Some may abuse alcohol and other drugs. Those who have
Making new friends can be intimidating, but it’s definitely rewarding. After all, friends form a big part of our life. They are the ones who walk through life together, share our ups and downs and joys and pains. Without friends, life wouldn’t be the same at all. We wouldn’t be who we are if not for them.
