Arrivals

As you have noticed in my blogs, I have been expressing my thoughts about the life of an immigrant who migrates to a new country. I have covered my thoughts on departing, and crossing the border, which results in a lot of struggles of emotional and physical effects on a person, but the important unit of the whole process is the arrival to a new country.

The arrival into a new country is the most confusing process to experience. There are a lot of feelings and emotions that surrounds a person’s body. They can feel excitement, scared, nervousness, anxiety, happiness, fear; basically it’s all a new process to face. Although a lot of feelings arise within a person, it can be successful decision for the fact of the arrival to a new country because it can provide greater and better opportunities for higher level employment, better life and the opportunity for your family to have a better life.

Arriving into a new country is very fearful. You may not know what to except, you may feel lost and alone, feel depress, feel out-of-place, just don’t fit into the country’s culture, society and background. Have a feeling of losing your own culture, image and background of who you are and trying to be someone you’re not. But sometimes, it can be a happy arrival because this can give a chance for others to reunite with their families.

Sometimes beginning a new life into a new country can be very hurtful, especially to a new family or person. These hurtful situations can result in racism and discrimination. This causes an emotional pain and stress that is unnecessary.

In this picture it makes me think back to the fact that immigrants think it’s so easy to go and start a new life in another country, but it really isn’t.

In my opinion, I know it’s tough starting a new life in a new country and the arrival of that new country can be a struggle but I find that once you be yourself and try to take the positive image of what the new country has to offer, you can have the chance of a better life, but it’s not that easy to encounter. Sometimes I wonder why their can't be peace in the world that we live in?
