Adaptation

The last six weeks have been a little stressful for me. Not a big deal, but I just want to feel integrated and adapt to my new city. I have been living in Austin Texas for one year and I am still not comfortable here. A big issue is my "family" I miss them a lot. Moreover, my daughter started kindergarten last week, which is OK, but now I have a lot of spare time, I am thinking about adding another class next term to keep my self busy! I like the city and the people here is terrific, but we came here because of a job opportunity for my husband not because I wanted to. =0(
One think I know for sure is that I need to get over this, most of the time I am calling my mom or talking with my sisters on messenger, which is not healthy, because is harder for me to be here.

Another issue I've been dealing with is my research paper.....I have been thinking about changing my topic. I like the one that I have,but I do now how my thesis statement is going to persuade others, like I do not know how to make a point about it. I am thinking about writing about the importance of oral health among kids and their health. I feel more comfortable with this topic and I hope to do a better paper. There is a lot of research going out about how dental cavities affect health, so I definitively think that my paper can lead to more research!



Thank you for reading!!

  1. Moving is never an easy thing, especially when it means you have to move away from family. Even though you have been there for some time now I think that you will begin to adapt, although being away from family will never be easy.

    I wish you the best of luck on your paper. I know that trying to persuade others is not exactly easy. I have found that it's difficult to show both sides while still making a strong point.

    Good luck
