When I first arrived in the USA, I was just 16 years old. I had gone there to live with a host family and attend High school for one year. I was over the moon about everything - and I do mean everything! When the plane finally touched down in San Francisco, I was exhilarated to finally be in America. I had participated in a two-day preparatory meeting before leaving Kazakhstan, but I soon discovered that no preparation could have prevented the culture shock that I experienced — and I'm so glad it didn't!
A lot of people confuse the term "culture shock" with a phase of confusion, frustration and homesickness that comes before adjusting to a foreign culture, but there's more to it than that. It also includes the feelings of novelty and excitement that begin on arrival. During this period, I was looking at the place through rose- tinted glasses, and every experience felt exotic, new and exciting. That feeling, however, didn't last forever.
A couple of months in, things started to feel kind of odd. I started missing home more and more, and the differences between the USA and Kazakhstan seemed to be growing. I began having negative thoughts more frequently; thoughts like ”nobody understands me here because my English isn’t good enough", or “the people here are so different!". This wasn’t a productive mentality for me. I would often get anxious or frustrated about the most insignificant and silly things, and I had no idea what was up with me.
Over the next few months, a sense of belonging replaced the disorientation I’d been feeling. I learned how to adapt to the stress of unfamiliar situations, and ventured out into new social circles where I made a lot of new friends. My English improved dramatically, and I even started dreaming exclusively in English!
As my understanding of American culture grew, everything started to fall into place and I knew that I‘d made a real breakthrough. I felt comfortable in my new home, and I no longer made the embarrassing mistakes that l used to make in social situations. I adopted new traits and kept a lot of my old ones, and slowly the “American me" and the “Kazakh me" became one person. I knew for sure that i’d fully assimilated when my friend remarked: «You're American now, Asian! You sound just like us!» l was beaming with pride for the rest of the day.
When I arrived in the USA, l was a timid 16-year-old who could barely hold a conversation in English. These days, i’m a conﬁdent bi—cultural person who can speak two languages fluently. So how did I bring this transformation about? Here’s the trick: I put myself out there. it's as simple as that. Talk to people, make mistakes, don’t be afraid to embarrass yourself! Develop a routine and find people who share your interests. Be positive, and try to see the good in everything (although that’s easier said than done!), and most of all remember to pack your sense of humor when you go! It will be daunting at first, but trust me, it's well worth the effort. I think if we all did an exchange of some sort, we would live in a more understanding, peaceful world.
