I Left Iraq And Arrived Here. I Am Still Sad!

"Today is my fifth day in the United States and I am still not getting it. I don’t fit. I don’t know why. I always thought it would be easier for me to settle here. But, No. Not now. Leaving a whole family behind and dear ones doesn’t feel right. The strongest I feel now is guilt!

I have been accepted to one of the best universities in the U.S. I am studying journalism now. I am a graduate student of a journalism school. Just what I always wanted since I’ve involved in this journalism thing. I am lucky, I guess."

Welcome to the US! Please make yourself at home.

I would worry too much about the guilt thing, give it time, they say time heals all wounds.
