Changes in my life

This essay is about how changes haveoccurred in my life. These changeshave occurredbecause
I went to adifferent country. First in Pakistan we have a lot of differences. Like most of students not follow the time schedule. We also do not have a lot technology.In addition when I am in my own country I am dependent on others. Now that I have moved to Canada I have noticed a lot of changes in my life. The lifestyles in Canada are different from my own country. Most work is based on practical work in Canada. For example the teachers will gives you a lot of assignments and projects, internship’s. But, in Pakistan, most work based on paper work. For example the teacher will not give you some extra work only read the book. I am more active in Canada if I compare it to my own country. Thus, the changes in my life have come in three ways: educational, personal, and cultural.
The first change in my life is educational change. How has this change occurredfor me in Canada? My education in Pakistan is completely different from Canada. According to Culture shock (n.d), for instance, in moving to a new country an individual might love teaching stylein his life.For example,Pakistan teachers deliver their lectures on a white board. They do not use the projector and document camera. But the Canadian teachers deliver their lecture on a document camera and use a projector. Pakistan most work is based on paper work like they do not suggest you take an internships and do not focus on your skill and projects. But here in Canada most work is on practical work.The teacher will give you a lot of assignments, quizzes and projects and like (exam, report writing, research projects etc.). In Pakistan I do not follow a time schedule. I do not go to class at the proper time. But, in Canada, I follow time schedule and I come to class ten minutes before the class start. If I do not follow the time I will not achieve your goals.

    What is change? As young adults, our understanding of the concept of change can be limited at times. It is when we are able to engage with texts that we are able to broaden our understanding that change encompasses. J.D Salinger’s novel ‘Catcher in the Rye’, J.C. Burke’s novel Tom Brennan and Gus Sant’s film ‘Good Will Hunting’ all employ similar concepts of change. We are able to connect with these concepts as they reflect changes happening in our own lives. This allows us to then develop a greater understanding of the concept of change.…

    Although work is essential, life isn't primarily about work, for work is merely its foundation. Letting work drive your life isn't much of one to begin with. There are tons of experiences out there just waiting to happen and Canada is a prime example of that. Canada is home to remarkably diverse people and cultures and has been this way since its formation. Interesting events that occur because of the cultures, are the multiple festivals that take place all throughout Canada, Alberta included. While living there would be a unfamiliar and unpredictable adventure, Canada openly encourages that people still retain their own cultures. This means I would learn more about other cultures while still being able to comfortably believe in what I believe…

    The Day I Became A Canadian is an essay of the day Al Pittman’s nationality changed and the resulting effect that had on him and the people who experienced the same. In the beginning, he saw the changes that were occurring as exciting and he had high notions of the things that would come with it. After he explains how his notions as a child were as unrealistic as the adults during that time. Pittman as a child had expectations of miraculous changes like ideas you would find in a comic book, adults of that time had ideas that their country was changing to better help the people. What they found was a government encouraging them to leave behind their ways and adopted the new. “Then suddenly we became part of a country we hardly knew, and just as suddenly the government exhorted the people to abandon their old ways and adopt the new, to come out of their fishing boat to work in factories, to leave their homes on the island and in the coves to take up residence in the “growth centres” of the new industrial Newfoundland.” Pittman and many others came to the realization that as much as they are Canadian, they have a culture and history of their own, which many others were fighting to keep in the beginning.…

    It has changed my life. Many people from different countries come to United States and drastically change within in a short time period. I have changed a lot from the kind of person I was before, but I think I have changed in an extremely good way. In my country women are told what to do. They do not get the respect they deserved. Mostly they are looked down by the society. In America you are independent. You are free to whatever you desire. I think now that I am in college I can understand better why my parents moved here. They wanted me to have a better education, freedom, and more opportunity. Now I would say that moving to United States was the best thing that ever happened to me. Thanks to my parents. In America, I decide how my future will turn out to be. It is up to me to use my independence with responsibility. My journey to America has given me the best experience anyone could ever…

    Two events that have shaped my life today have been two different ones. From moving from the Hawaiian Islands to the mainland living in a landlocked state that was completely different the island surrounded by water.

These two are different in contrast, but to me, they both hold a place in shaping my life.…
