I was six years old when I moved halfway across the world. Being six years old and getting chucked into a new environment was one of the biggest obstacles I ever had to go through. When I first arrived in America from the Philippines, I struggled with trying to get use to everything. I had to learn how to speak a whole new language in order to communicate with the world. I was thrown into a new school without knowing English so I struggled to make friends. I couldn’t understand my teacher very well, and since my language was extremely foreign to this country, they couldn’t provide me a translator. In school, I didn’t understand how the rules worked; one time I went to use the bathroom without the teachers permission and I got in trouble.
