It was my first time in America. In 2015, I moved with my family permanently from India. Had few issues moving but managed to solve those issues without any difficulties. I had no clue how it would be; I had heard about it, read it in the newspaper and saw it in movies but never seen it with my eyes.

The first day of the school, I was very nervous, and I have to take a bus to go to school. But I had never been on the bus, and I had no clue the public transport works over here, but I managed to learn it on the first day of school. I made it to the school, and I see all these people walking to the school, outside of the school gate we were getting our schedule, and I got mine too, but now the problem was that how to find the classes? I picked up the school map in the front office and headed to toward my first period, and I found out that American High Schools are nothing like I imagined.
