Keep Calm and Carry On Living Life in the UK

Keep Calm and Meet Who?
it feels like to be put in a new
school, therefore you’ll soon feel
well placed and none the less
jubilant to go hang out with
friends.
Throughout the years I’ve
lived here, not only have I
met various friends in the
community on (and off)
base, but I’ve also met an
abundance of friends on
the soccer team, known
as football here, that I
joined three years ago.
After just one practice with the other girls who’d
previously joined the team, I felt at home and comfortable working as a team with
them to complete certain drills. Everybody there was again super nice and showed
hospitality towards me (the newcomer).

Whenever I first moved to
England I was excited but
scared to go to school. Within
the second week of school I
knew everyone’s name and
had made four friends. When
you don’t know people it can
be scary going to a new school
but once you get used to it, it
isn’t that scary. My parents
always tell me that it is ok to
be scared and that everyone
was once new too. This year
I was scared to go to school
too but now I have lots of
friends and one of the greatest
teachers ever!
