For every teenager a drastic change to their form of life like moving schools can be catastrophic. For me it became a challenge‚ new school‚ friends‚ teachers‚ and a new environment. Life as I knew it was about to change and I could not assimilate it. Change seemed like the end of a perfect world. When I moved into the new house the smell was unrecognizable‚ the environment was somber and insipid. School felt strange and I felt everyone staring at me as a strange specimen from a lab.

responsibilities on my shoulders. From helping my siblings get dressed to keeping them calm when babysitting‚ early as the age of eight. I kept in mind that my actions were going to be looked upon‚ always. It was not until I entered middle school that I realized how some classmates were not used to taking initiative. My classmates were reluctant to participate in our group projects‚ afraid of failure‚ and not willing to take risks. So I took control of group projects‚ always.

For example‚ the history textbooks that sit on my dresser are a visible indicator of my love for knowledge of the past. And the AP textbooks

sometimes struggle to find the identity that addresses the new life they have molded into and most represents their culture and experiences. The course of my life changed forever in August of 2003‚ when my family and I made the move to the United States from a small town in northeastern Italy. Upon my arrival in the U.S I noticed‚ even at my young age‚ that gone were the rolling‚ lush hills of northern Italy; the sprawling vineyards and olive groves; the tiny‚ eclectic cars; the mature stone buildings;

The name Kanissa is a creation‚ a hand me down with a twist. A name‚ similar to my aunt Anissa. Ever since I was little‚ my aunt has always been there. Whether it be from the first day of 1rst grade‚ where I cautiously walked down the gargantuan and tedious halls marked by the pencils of the children before me. Or birthday parties spent at Oma and Opa’s. Oma and opa means grandma and grandpa in Dutch. Holidays and birthday parties that are spent at Oma and Opa’s house are hectic

While studying abroad‚ I believe that this skill I gained from my internship will allow me accommodate and adapt easily to the new culture.

In Japan‚ I attended the American School in Japan (ASIJ)‚ a select‚ highly diverse international school an hour from downtown Tokyo. While I was young‚ I found it easy to appreciate attending school with expatriate students from different pockets of the world and being immersed in Japanese culture alongside my peers.
