Moving To America

Arabic, my second language gave me difficulty as a child as for that, I spoke English more for that reason and another reason was that I was in America at the time. In Egypt I spoke more English and for that I was treated as a foreigner and was called differently as well as the way I was treated. I was called in American in Egypt a lot because I traveled from America to Egypt and when I went back to America I was called an Egyptian. In Egypt I was asked a lot of questions and struggled a lot with the language as such I had to ask what the words meant to understand what they we’re saying.

My family traveled back to America after 7 years living in Egypt and In America I was called an Egyptian and I did not prefer that.

When moving to another country, you’ll always be seen differently as well as how you are
