How Moving from India to Dubai Changed My Identity

Sometimes a single change in our life can rewrite who we are. For me, that  change came when I left India and stepped into Dubai. I was sixteen moved to Dubai from India.  I came across a new world very different world from before where I interacted with new faces , people speaking in different accent and different lifestyles. I was excited as well as scared that will I be able to fit in this new world. 

In every person's life there is place in which it is very challenging to fit but it end up teaching us hundreds of things. That place for me was my school. My classmates was from India but they were born and raised in Dubai only, their way of speaking English was faster and more confident,  For first few weeks I hesitated to speak in front of everyone but slowly things began to change. I started make friends,  adapt  culture and became confident. I started to part in debates , public speaking, acting and dance. 

I realized that education was not only about books- it was also about learning from people and experiences around me. I became more mature in less time and now I am seventeen,  leaving happily with my new self. Moving to Dubai shaped my identity, turning me into someone ready to face new challenges.
