My Journey Of Transition To A New Life

Improved Essays
Everyone have some sort of struggles in life. I think most of the time that we see people every day with their game faces on. Life demands us to grow and become stronger human beings. But not everyone is same. We people choose our path according to our goals in life. Those paths might be many different according to their interests, beliefs and dreams. Those paths sometimes make us outsiders in society and in our hearts. This world is filled with people yet we find ourselves being lonely. This is my story of transition to a new life from my old life.
Clear blue sky, fast-paced city, cars honking, and my family when I think of my home land. First 20 year of my life was spent in my home country “Mongolia”. It is the most wonderful and peaceful

I remember having this blue colored English book which was called “Step by Step” where I learned easy every day conversations. I truly enjoyed learning English and pretty soon after 1 and a half year I could express myself half decent in English. The influence of American life style from my father’s work was bigger than I thought. My father has worked at US Embassy in Mongolia proudly for 12 years. My character, personality and even dreams have been like my father. Ever since he died in 2009, I lived every day of my life for him to continue his life. My father gave me hope, motivation, and support to accomplish my …show more content…
It was a cold February morning when I got up to get ready to go to the airport. As I got ready putting the last a few things in my luggage was killing me on the inside. I took a last look around my house and kissed my mother and niece goodbye, right then I couldn’t hide my tears. But I knew I was going to see them again because life is amazing and family is forever.
Ever since I moved here, I started to use Skype almost every day to speak to my family. Every time I see their faces I’m so thankful for technology that we have today. Home is far but near in my heart. People say be careful what you wish for. But I don’t regret for making that decision to moving here. I believe it wasn’t just coincidence that I was introduced to American culture as growing up. I believe that it was my destiny to move here one day.
Everyone has a dream and goals in their lives. We all have trials in our lives that make us grow and become someone stronger. Moving to the States has been my dream and my dream came true. I just didn’t know what I had to give up for my dream when I was a young girl. Dreams make other dreams. I carry my family in my heart every day. I am hopeful, that we will all live near again until then I can’t wait to see them this summer. My dream at the moment is to see them in the

    Personal Statement Almost everyone had a rod in hand as they walked through the main street headed for the pier or docks to try and reel in a tasty morsel for dinner. In my small fishing village surrounded by serene mountains and lush waters, I grew up distant from many of life’s amenities and creature comforts. Surrounded by family and relatives, I lived in a capsule of love. Little did I know that in several years, I would be on a plane bound for the United States, uncertain about my future but resolve in my dreams.…

    My boyfriend of three years broke up with me; my heart was shattered like a mirror on the ground, cracked and pieces missing. I never thought that this would affect me so much. I couldn’t let everyone see how upset I was, so I hid my emotions behind a fake smile that no one ever knew existed. That is where all my problems started; something started to grow inside of me like an embryo of a new unborn child. Slowly but surely I sank into a dark abyss of depression.…

    I believe that the American Dream is a guideline for what people have set as there highly important goals in life. I also believe that they call it the american dream because it is most common in America where goals like these are able to be accomplished with a ease that does not exist in other countries. The american dream touches me because I want to accomplish great things and have fun doing it. I hope to do this by being successful in the job that I will one day choose and for that be rewarded with a salary that more than satisfies my needs. I also hope to have a great journey getting to where I want to go by going to college out of state in California.…

    A motif that haunts the months of college applications and preparation is the daunting idea of seniors entering into the "real world." An alleged, new realm of reality that discredits the validity of the last few years in high school, not to mention the three before that and all the experiences previously. This concept coincides seamlessly with the idea that college is a beacon of newfound adulthood. Even so, each student's differing personality, aspirations, culture and tribulations falsifies the belief that adulthood is that straightforward. Thus, in order to define the moment that marked my transition into adulthood, I must first define what being an adult means to me.…

My dream finally came true in the spring of 2010 when my whole family immigrated to the United States and embarked on a new life in San Francisco.…
