Describe your cultural adjustments: Sometimes moving or a change in your

life involves a cultural adjustment even though it doesnt involve learning a new
language. Have you ever had any experience you considered a cultural
adjustment? As an introduction for me, describe in a few sentences, any cultural
adjustment you have made and its impact on you (at any time during your life).
The largest cultural adjustment I have faced was in high school when I
transferred from Brighton High School to Riverton High School. This was quite
the adjustment for me because it forced me to move to school where I didnt
know anyone and to a place that had a different cultural standing. The hardest
difference was the different social differences. For example one social standing
that was singular was that at Brighton High School there were social clicks where
only the people you knew from childhood could be your friends and hang out with
you. Where as at Riverton, everyone embraced you with open arms and there
were no such things as identifiers. This was just one of the many differences.
This has made such an impact on me because it allowed me view people in a
different light, to see that we are all unique and come from different places that
causes us to act differently according to what we are surrounded by.
