 My first my first period class attending school in the United States was computers I never owned a computer in Jordan. So Everybody seemed to know what they were doing. We had to do these PowerPoint slides, you know Presentations and I just had no idea What I was doing, you know, I tried to ask some of the people sitting next to me And I didn't really get any help and at that point I really felt that I didn't belong here a couple periods later it was math class and Everybody had to get a scientific calculator and I was answering questions without using the calculator, you know And at the thing that point I felt like okay Maybe I'm not good at computers, but I have other skills that I can make up for you know next period was French I and I became the kid the weird kid that was better at French that was in English, you know, and I think You know, I learned a big lesson there that my colleagues or they weren't they weren't even my friends yet They would come up to me and ask me for help in math and French, you know So I learned the lesson there where it's okay to ask a question, you know, I said, okay, they're coming up to me asking me About math and French in their own country. So why can I ask them to I mean I was horrible in science And while while I was studying in Arabic so you can only imagine how how hard it was coming here I mean, we were learning in seventh grade about homo sapiens and I was like, well What does that even mean, you know, this is how I adapted I you know, I learned how to ask questions I learned how to not be embarrassed, you know of asking the questions or embarrassed of who I am You know, I I was 12 years old, but I knew I was an immigrant I wasn't from here and if I didn't ask I wasn't ever gonna learn So I think that's how I overcame the challenge of feeling that I didn't belong here
