5.I still remember the moment before boarding the airplane,my stomach was twisted in knots,and my arms carried the burdens of not only my luggage,but also past painful memories.I was sobbing,my face wearing homesickness and hope.It was my first experience moving to another country.I was like a frog who had lived at the bottom of a well seeing the world for the first time.I didn't want to leave home,but I didn't have much of a choice.
When I first arrived in Fairfax,I found everything extremely different.To begin with,drivers there drive on the other side of the road,which really confused me.The area is often completely lacking in humans.I was also overwhelmed by the silence of the place,a huge contrast to the constant hustle and bustle in Singapore.And the mild weather and the subtleness of the season changes were things I had never met before.I underwent a culture shock and it took a while to adapt.
Now,when I look back,it was a remarkable experience.I learned so many things.Since the pace of life is much slower in Fairfax,I was able to invest my time in picking up new hobbies like skiing and softball.Perhaps it was a part of the growing up process,but I think I grew much more confident from living there.And the opportunity to meet new people was really rewarding.However,I can't deny how scary it was to be taken out of my comfort zone like that.
