One time I had to adapt to a new environment was when I moved to a new school in high school. At first, everything felt unfamiliar. The classroom were different, the teacher had a new teacher style, and most importantly, I didn’t know anyone. The mental lens I faced was communication. Everyone already had their own group of friends, so I feel a bit left out in the beginning. It was also no reason to be speaking up in class because I was worried that people might judge me. To a doubt, I tried to take a small step. I tried to draw some school activities like the design club because I thought it was easier to make friends with people who had the same interests. I also start talking more to my cosmet even if it was just about homework or small thing. Over time I built friendship and become more comfortable in a new environment. During the experiment I feel nervous and a little lonely at first but after I feel a week began to feel more confident and happy.

One time I had to adapt to a new environment was when I moved to a new school in high school. At first, everything felt unfamiliar. The classrooms were different, the teachers had a new teaching style, and most importantly, I didn't know anyone. The main challenge I faced was communication. Everyone already had their own group of friends, so I felt a bit left out in the beginning. There was also no reason to speak up in class because I was worried that people might judge me. To overcome this, I tried to take small steps. I joined some school activities like the design club because I thought it would be easier to make friends with people who had the same interests. I also started talking more to my classmates, even if it was just about homework or small things. Over time, I built friendships and became more comfortable in the new environment. During the experience, I felt nervous and a little lonely at first, but after a week, I began to feel more confident and happy. Looking back, I think it was a remarkable lesson because it taught me that having an open mind and being proactive really helps when adapting to a new situation.
