Moving Into New City



I grew up in a small town named Kathmandu, population roughly 2.5 million. Living in Kathmandu was fun growing up because everyone knew each other. I grew up on a farm on the edge of town beside my grandparents so I always had family around me. Kathmandu was safe for me because I always had my own little bubble and never had to step out of my comfort zone, but coming to college definitely made me pop that bubble. When I first arrived at Lincoln University, Oakland, CA, I was very afraid to leave my home town and my comfort zone; however these new experiences were an invaluable tool to prepare me for the transition to main campus.At first time in new city, my heart was pounding. I was so thirsty yet I had just drunk a bottle of Soda but my mouth was as dry as it’s ever been. As I got drop from my friend’s car from airport to apartment, I looked around and saw people moving things into as they like, I was shocked at how many people were walking around and getting things freely as they perceive. I looked across and saw people in their own way. So, free life they had and no wonder what they really do? And I think it’s a USA. I was new at that time and each and everything were new and I feel the things amazing and it made things more interesting. Now, I am inclining closer towards new city. The city is beautiful and clean and people are so good. The best part I like is humanity and multi-cultural and multi-linguistic country. I think staying here in California will be an memorable experience to me and hope I will generate ideas and get better opportunity to pursue my career after my graduation.
Moving into California from Nepal is an increasing desire, because of the various forms of entertainment, myriad of transportation, and the never-ending excitement typical of such a fast-paced lifestyle.
