Having lived in a country of over a billion, I pride myself on my adaptability. We moved twice in the past four years and that required adapting to a whole new environment quickly. This was challenging. Our first move was international, the second within Minnesota.
The first time I moved, I had never set foot on US soil. The idea of going to a new school, making new friends, and getting used to a new culture overwhelmed me. I pride myself on my social skills which helped me get accustomed to the new environment. I made friends almost immediately. Of course, there were a few bumps. I was often faced by the words “can you repeat that,” as I still had a pretty strong accent. Furthermore, the fact that no one around me knew a word of Hindi
