Go Super to Listen Go Super!

Moving can be exciting. It’s a chance to start over and get to know a new place. But it can also be scary. When you’re new in town and you don’t know anybody, you might feel lonely. You might have to work hard to fit in and find new friends. But in time, your new home will become just that. Home.

I moved to another city many years ago. I think it was a change for better even though it took some getting used to at first.

Tongue outNot only  does the climate change is threatening their habitats, but it  has also enhanced their survival instincts, their whole diet have changed. The other day I came across one Bear eating Shaved Ice, it didn’t have  any syrup on top otherwise I would have been scared.

When I first moved to Antartica there  were no “welcome” banners,no limo waiting for me with my last name on the window.No red carpet rolled out for me. The climate was very hostile, It didn’t take long for me to feel homesick. I choked up, my eyeballs were rock frozen. then I saw a polar bear with a coca cola bottle, I couldn’t believe my eyes!! and made a beeline toward him .this place really grew on me.

When i was 17th years old i had to move from my state and it was very hard, to fit in with the new style of life and culture (believe, it exist between states also), and at school, teenagers were very differente of me. but i was very lucky because i found a truth friend on that time, and till now i can count on her, and i believe forever. Without her help, i believe i hadn’t managed go through that :)

  I think I have been a new comer in many places of my life, not because I really like it but because I have been driven by variety of reasons. Most of them have mainly been the job and the study. Sometimes, some jobs and schools are better offered or suited for you than other. These are  my priority and because of this , I am not so much concerned about how to fit in with a new crowd or life style but rather focused on how to achieve the personal goal. However, to live in a new place could end up having many happy memories, if you play the card right. After all, our whole life is comprised of finite small sectional memories.  For me, I try to be careful when I am in each section of my life. Of course, not every section of my life turns out as wonderful as I think but I try to be grateful and passionate.  In many cases, I found I am left with many close friends and happy memory. I think being passionate and alert and enjoying the moment with people and things will lead you to a wonderful adventure of the life.Cool

I’ve never been new in town, but I changed of school quite a lot of times, and I like that feelin’ of not knowing anyone and starting from zero with new people, though I’m a little bit shy

being with new people and new place need a little brave personality….you fear for nothing and empty subjects while u go in new place…but if you same experince before maybe u can control this nervouse….


for example the people who go to university for first day, they are fear for not ariiving on time, loosing bus, and etcra..but after a while, these feel remove from them….and maybe if a one of them goes in future to new university, could remove the nervouse from himself…
