Living in a Foreign Country

To leave the country where I was born and move to America was probably the best and the most tough experience in my life. I came to United States two years ago as an exchange student, which means I started to live with a family that I have never met before. The greatest obstacle that I faced was probably the language barrier because it made really hard all the aspects in the adaptation to America. I could not make friends because nobody could understand me and I could not understand anyone. So, without friends and far away from all my family I felt very lonely. The classes were really hard because not only I had to study extra hard to make up for my lack of fluency in English but I misunderstood countless information from the teachers like the date of the testes, or the topic of the paper for homework. Adding this to the fact that I had to adapt to a new culture, made the situation the biggest obstacle in my life. However, after that adaptation to the culture was done and I got more fluent in English, the decision of coming to United States turned up to be the best decision in my life. I fell like I grew up a lot and became more responsible, ambitious and dedicated. I started to pursue and work hard to get what I want instead of letting the things that I want pass by. Even though it was tough at the beginning, all the things that I got from moving to United States make the experience completely worth it. So, if you have the chance to move to another country do not let it pass by, do everything you can to grab that change. Even though in the short-run it will be though, in the long-run it will be completely worth it.
