If I was an immigrant moving to America I would definitely face a major culture shock. I would be treated like an outsider and probably have a hard time making friends.

Eli

2/20/2019 01:17:03 pm

I agree with that you wouldn’t have many friends.

Chayla

2/20/2019 01:18:44 pm

I agree, the culture shock would definitely affect you.

Avery

2/20/2019 01:19:19 pm

I agree with th big culture shock

Ariana

2/20/2019 01:19:24 pm

Ya that would be hard

Eli

2/20/2019 01:15:32 pm

If I was going to a new country. I wouldn’t know the launguage or why they do the things they do. If someone was moving to America they would wonder why people aren’t that friendly on the streets.

Griffin Mylan

2/20/2019 01:16:48 pm

Yea I can agree on that one

Blazen Burgess

2/20/2019 01:17:50 pm

Very true.

Chayla

2/20/2019 01:17:57 pm

That is true

Sam

2/20/2019 01:18:21 pm

Language would be a big problem. You would have to know English to make it very far in America.

Sammy H.

2/20/2019 01:19:01 pm

Americans aren't that hospitable, I agree.

Preston

2/20/2019 01:19:38 pm

That has scientifically been proven to be true.

Jordan

2/20/2019 01:20:39 pm

I can definitely agree with that one.

Aidan

2/20/2019 01:21:06 pm

Yeah I’d agree with the majority of this comment.

Blazen Burgess

2/20/2019 01:15:43 pm

Some struggles might be making friends. I would probably get bullied. That would make me pretty angry so I would be getting in fights.

Dillon

2/20/2019 01:16:55 pm

I would probably end up doing the same thing.

Aidan

2/20/2019 01:20:44 pm

I’d say you are right.

Caden Caywood

2/20/2019 01:21:12 pm

I usually do that when I get bullied 😃

Dillon

2/20/2019 01:15:49 pm

Some struggles I might face would be finding a job and a place to live. I would be treated like someone starting at the bottom working their way up. It would not feel good at first but if the hard work pays off than it would feel really good.

Griffin Mylan

2/20/2019 01:17:06 pm

This is so woke.

Sam

2/20/2019 01:17:27 pm

It would definitely take a lot of hard work especially if you had to bring your family over too.

Eli

2/20/2019 01:17:45 pm

I like how you mentioned hard work will pay off.

Preston

2/20/2019 01:20:11 pm

The true struggles.

Taija

2/20/2019 01:25:04 pm

For sure.

Griffin Mylan

2/20/2019 01:16:12 pm

Some struggles I might face is making friends with people of the same interests as me. I would probably be treated differently because I share a different culture than the people I would be around.

Blazen Burgess

2/20/2019 01:16:43 pm

That’s crazy.

Faith

2/20/2019 01:19:56 pm

This is so true

Caden Caywood

2/20/2019 01:22:05 pm

I agree with that, it would be hard

Johnny

2/20/2019 01:22:27 pm

Yeah it would probably be hard to find someone who likes brawl stars as much as you

Chayla

2/20/2019 01:17:13 pm

It would probably be hard to make friends at first. The culture would be very different and hard to adjust to. I think I would feel upset at first but it would probably end up being a good thing.

Dillon

2/20/2019 01:18:05 pm

I agree it would feel good in the end.

Ariana

2/20/2019 01:20:00 pm

Yeah, the culture would be very different.

Faith

2/20/2019 01:20:32 pm

I agree!

Treygan

2/20/2019 01:22:22 pm

That would not be fun

Sammy H.

2/20/2019 01:17:24 pm

If I where an immigrant I think it would depend on where I ended up. If it was somewhere the locals spoke English and had similar ways to Americans I think it would be easier. If it were somewhere you couldn't understand the language, people's ways were different, you would be seen as different and possibly be judged.

Jordan

2/20/2019 01:21:59 pm

People are always judging you, no matter where you're from or going to.

Jaicei

2/20/2019 01:23:31 pm

Going to a place with a different language would be hard.

Faith

2/20/2019 01:18:03 pm

If I was moving to another country as an immigrate I would be afraid. I would face being treated differently from everyone around me. I would also face the trouble of maybe speaking another language and trying to find a job.

Avery

2/20/2019 01:20:07 pm

I’d be afraid too.

Miriam

2/20/2019 01:20:52 pm

Becoming fluent in another language would be really hard for me too!

Sammy H.

2/20/2019 01:20:52 pm

I'd struggle with this too.

Jaicei

2/20/2019 01:23:59 pm

I’d be scared too

Mackay

2/20/2019 01:24:10 pm

This is very true!

Treygan

2/20/2019 01:24:31 pm

That would be scary

Taija

2/20/2019 01:25:46 pm

So true.

Avery

2/20/2019 01:18:21 pm

If I was an immigrant traveling to the United States I would be treated like I don’t belong. I would feel like an outsider. Some struggles would be a big culture change.

Emma Dahle

2/20/2019 01:22:02 pm

That’s a great way to explain how you would feel because it’s true you would feel like an outsider.

Preston

2/20/2019 01:18:29 pm

Some struggles are that it may be hard to find food for the journey. Also it may be difficult to have enough money to get a ticket to go to America. You may be treated poorly cause your an outsider. It would possibly make hard to believe that you are making the right decision.

Aidan

2/20/2019 01:18:36 pm

Some struggles I would cave would be the racism and starting from the bottom. I would be treated like waste I mean if one country didn’t want me and I couldn’t do good there why would another country want to be stuck with me, a burden. I’d feel optimistic.

Will

2/20/2019 01:23:20 pm

Nice thinking

Miriam

2/20/2019 01:18:58 pm

A few struggles would be a launguage barrier, not being used to the set up of the town and looking different. I would feel excited but you eventually feel lost and afraid. People would probably look at me as an outsider.

Emma Dahle

2/20/2019 01:20:16 pm

I didn’t think about how you would look different. That’s a great point.

Brooke

2/20/2019 01:21:00 pm

Very true about maybe not fitting in.

Alexia

2/20/2019 01:22:11 pm

Yes language would be a difficult thing to overcome

Sammy H.

2/20/2019 01:22:12 pm

It's like taking a permanent trip to another country.

Mackay

2/20/2019 01:23:39 pm

I agree.

Ariana

2/20/2019 01:18:59 pm

Some struggles I might face is loneliness, hunger, and overall just surviving. Also making friends. I don’t think I would be treated very well and it would probably be very hard to survive at first.

Miriam

2/20/2019 01:19:35 pm

Some of their weird foods are really good though!

Alexia

2/20/2019 01:21:37 pm

I agree, loneliness is a big possibility

Johnny

2/20/2019 01:21:50 pm

Interesting way of thinking about it. Good job

Emma Dahle

2/20/2019 01:19:27 pm

The struggles you might face is would you be able to speak their language, finding a job without your work visa, or being able to buy a house. In some foreign countries they don’t like Americans so you probably wouldn’t be treated that well and they wouldn’t have respect for you. You would feel out of place and it would be awkward.

Taylee Matthews

2/20/2019 01:24:44 pm

Well said Emma I agree

Jordan

2/20/2019 01:19:35 pm

Some struggles I might encounter if I moved to a new country as an immigrant would be not knowing what the culture is or what language or how I would get a job. I would probably feel lonely or hated by everyone.

Tierryn

2/26/2019 01:14:25 pm

Why would you move to a country you know nothing about?

Caden Caywood

2/20/2019 01:19:55 pm

If I was an immigrant I would always feel different and out of place. I think that most of he time I would be treated kind, but sometimes still face prejudice and have a hard time understanding others.

Will

2/20/2019 01:22:34 pm

I totally agree Caden

Treygan

2/20/2019 01:20:51 pm

Stuggles I would probably face when getting there is getting a job, a place to live, and learning a different language (if it is different). You could also getting bullied for religion and race while there.

Will

2/20/2019 01:21:06 pm

At first being an immigrant would be very nerve racking and scary, but after spending time in the foreign place you would learn to adapt. You would be treated as an outsider, because as human that is the first thing we turn to. As a new immigrant you would most likely struggle with the language and many other task in your day to day life.

Mackay

2/20/2019 01:21:19 pm

Being an immigrant you could struggle with different sicknesses, and huge cultural changes. You could be treated very differently then most. I feel like I would feel homesick at first but learn to enjoy it.

Taylee Matthews

2/20/2019 01:23:44 pm

Agree Mack well said

Johnny

2/20/2019 01:21:25 pm

I’d probably be treated differently sense I’m technically a citizen of the United States. People would probably instantly like or hate me for being American if I lived in a foreign country.

Jaicei

2/20/2019 01:22:05 pm

If I was an immigrant, I would hate it. It would be hard to find a place to live and a decent job.

Jordan

2/20/2019 01:24:22 pm

Nice one.

Tierryn

2/26/2019 01:13:47 pm

Love your priorities.

Alexia

2/20/2019 01:22:54 pm

A big struggle you would face is acceptance. People would look at you with a set look and not understand you. I would feel alone at first but, also excited to see what could come of the new journey. I think I would have low expectations so they can be overcome and greatend.

Taylee Matthews

2/20/2019 01:23:01 pm

The struggles I think you would face being an immagrant is always feeling out of place. Just because you don’t know the culture like every around you. I feel like you would feel alone.

Brooke

2/20/2019 01:25:12 pm

True anybody could be alone and it’s really difficult.

Brooke

2/20/2019 01:23:49 pm

If I was an immigrant it would be really hard. Since you have to adjust to so many things of being new, not having friends, and religion. Being an outside is probably really hard.

Taija

2/20/2019 01:27:41 pm

I would be scared and afraid. I would do it so I could have a better life. I think it would be really hard because everything would be harder and people would treat me different.

Tierryn

2/26/2019 01:13:29 pm

I would be very scared and uncomfortable. I have no plans on moving out of the country so moving out of the country would frighten me. I would be treated like an outsider because I would be an outsider.
