1 Chapter 1

I can't help thinking about when I first moved here, United States. I always remember how life was back in Singapore, life was different in Singapore.

I was really not looking forward to moving to USA but I supported my father in his job and as a thirteen year old girl in her early teen, it was hard to let go of friends but I remained calm but sometimes grumpy as well.

For the first one and a half months all we did was rest, explore and search for a school and a house of convenience for my father.

Then on the first day of school, the weather was cold for me and I wasn't wearing very warm clothes so I was freezing and shivering. I was so nervous walking to the first class, opened the door and people staring at me, I thought I was gonna die! My heart kept beating at a fast pace, I kept wondering if they were nice people or not as you know? First day chills, but some girls came to me with big smiles and welcome me, I was shy but happy. The teacher was nice, I guess.

The next few classes was all same feelings, nervous as heck I was, some students were really scary and intimidating to me. I found the Americans most intimidating, the asians were not that bad but still nervous in front of them. I came home that day feeling not excited for next school day.
