This blog site has been created for a class of ESL students completing their VCE studies at Cheltenham Secondary College. Our purpose is to develop practical skills in online communication, and to discuss the context 'Leaving Home: Identity and Belonging'. Throughout this year we have been writing and reading stories of leaving home and adjusting to new environments. We invite commentary from all interested parties, especially other students.

ReplyDeleteI interviewed to my Japanese school teacher who called Megumi. That is female name in Japan. She migrated to Australia in 2002. Her plan was pretty similar to me; that is, staying here to study English. That’s why I interviewed her. She also gave me a piece of advice that will be my reflection and help me from now on forward. By the way, her initial plan was to study English for 6 months as an international student, but she ended up staying here for 7 years and now she’s got a job and married here. Then she became a migrant. Sounds like she had a positive feeling when she left her home country. I asked her: “How did you feel when you were moving to Australia” and she couldn’t answer that. Therefore, she didn’t feel sad or negative when she left Japan that is because she left her home country, but it doesn’t mean she threw away home country. I also didn’t feel anything about moving to Australia because we came to Australia as International students.
According to the interview, she was in a really good condition since she arrived in Australia until now. She said” When she came to Australia or the first few months, she always had someone to help her” She had good friends and they gave her confidence and made her feel relief.
Most of the time she feels happy to live in Australia. However, when she feels discriminated by someone, it’s not comfortable to be a minority. I asked her “Do you like your country more than your home country?” Then she answered” it is not easy to say yes or no.” She feels like going home sometimes, especially when she misses her family and friends in Japan. “However, the working conditions are much better here in Australia due to reasonable working hours” by that answer, much better working condition encouraged her to remain in Australia for 7 years and it changed her plan. For being exchanged student the greatest difficulty is being away from family. That is what everyone said, but for me the greatest difficulty is being away from friends. I live in Australia with family so, I can’t feel miss my family. Maybe I am luckier than others.
For my reflection, I’ve learned a much better way to live in Australia from her piece of advice. Those are “Being positive whatever happens at first” this means we are living different environment from home country so, be relaxed and positive whatever happens. “Don’t hesitate to accept different environment” This is one of the piece of advice. That means if you are in trouble because of the different culture, you need to do something about it. Don’t be timid. Last piece of advice is“Don’t be afraid of being different from others, be yourself”. That is we came here to study English or to be migrant so, of course we are bit different from others. But you must be yourself and be positive. That is what I got from the interview and it will help me if I decide to be a migrant.
