Pretend that your parents informed you that you would be moving to live in Japan at the end of the month. What are some difficulties that may arise. How difficult would it be for you to live there and why? Do you believe that those difficulties would be eased with time, if so how? Now compare your thoughts on this scenario with some of the difficulties you imagine people immigrating to this country come across. Are the problems similar to those you would encounter if you were told you were moving to Japan?

If my parents told me i was moving to japan,i would be so mad but sad at the same time. Because i would have to start my life all over again. I would have a lot of problems adapting over there, because i dont know anything about japan, their culture, nor japanese. So i would'nt be able to understand any of my classes, ask for help nor communicate with others. Japanese is nt similar to any of the languages i know so i think adapting there would be the hardest thing i would ever have to do.
Well even thought i was born in the U.S i spent all my 15 first years in Haiti. I only moved here in september. I did nt have problems adapting
here because i had been speaking english since i was 4 and i came here for vacation every summer.
for other people who did nt have the opportunities i had, it might somewhat similar but not totally, because now in almost all countries, in school you learn english so even when the person does'nt fluently speek it, he still has an idea of what he has to do.
Moving to a foreign country is never easy, but it s just something a lot of people have to get thru and we dont really have a choice. Having built all your life somewhere, and then having to move, is like moving and leaving your life behind .But we have to, sometimes for our security, for a better life, or a better education. It s just one of the hard passages of life, that we just have to accept and get over.
