How does it feel to be an inter-student in a foreign country:
Langston Hughes once said “ I, Too, discusses belonging and the journey to being recognized in a new land.” Being an intern student from a foreign country is a very hard thing to adjust to because then you would have to learn their language from scratch and to try to make new friends. Today I asked 4 people about their experiences about being an intern student in a foreign country and these are their answers. 1 out of 4 students said that it was fun, to make new friends from different cultures and nationalities, but 3 out of 4 students said that they struggle on the subjects at first but slowly and surely they said that they got the hang of it because of talking to their friends.
So after talking to these people about their perspective about being an intern student it seems that they all had good and fun things to talk about in their school and that is true because you can learn a lot of new things while being an intern student like learning their culture, their hobbies or favorite food making new friends as an intern student is also nice because then you would have someone to show you around or tell you about their country but not all things always end in a happy ending despite these people are very happy about their school life not all intern students are experiencing something like this most intern students are affected by bullying for being a student from another country or having a different religion these bullying can cause some intern students to get stress and depression making them lonely, but still after these intern students are getting bullied to the point they want to distance themselves from their life a small bit of students still try and become friends with them and that small kind of gesture is able to lift up the moods of the intern student giving them a second chance in life, so if you see an intern student in your school don't judge them if they are from a different country or that they are from a different religion instead be kind to them of who they are, be there friend, talk to them because the smallest gestures can lift up someone day.
