The personal chaos I experienced when moving to the U.S. was losing access to the most important person in my life - my grandmother.  Leaving her meant I would lose access to an ancient culture and knowledge about nutrition and food.  It also meant I would slowly forget the native language of my home country because I could no longer hear her voice.  My grandmother spoke a native dialect that even my parents could only understand but could not speak.  I was hoping I would keep my grandmother's native dialect 'alive' and pass it to our next generation. But I couldn't do that when I immigrated to the U.S.

Referring back to the memories of my grandmother:
Question 3A:  In Turkey, we cooked with clay pots so the sounds were heavy.  Grandma had special ways to teach me -
- Ah, now we listen with our nose!
- Don't bother the chicken in the pot.  Let the chicken sleep.
- Look at the chicken and it will tell you to put more garlic or salt or pepper.
- We eat.  We are happy.  Why?  We thanked the chicken before we eat, and the chicken said, "Iyi (good) - I am your dinner."

Now I call her once a week when I have internet.  She just says...
- Study hard.  Do good in school.
- Iyi bir kiz ol - Be good girl.  Obey your father.
- endiselenme - Don't worry.  I am good.
- I tell her I am doing great, and we both become silent.  I listen to her breathing.  She hears my breathing.
- Oh, the phone call is too much money - 🤬 fazla para.  Go study now.  Don't worry about me.  Bye-bye!  Gule gule. Gule gule

Some emotional chaos I personally experience with moving to the United States was that I’m not seeing my family a lot any more the way I use to and I can’t hangout with my friend anymore and it’s hard for me to make new friends because I’m shy and scared because I didn’t speak English and I didn’t know what people was going to say if I talk and the worst part was when I heard one of my best friend die when I come so it’s was hard for me , do deal with the news and with a new country I’m living in.

unable to communicate with your family with your close friends and you can’t see them it’s hard for me.

My experience when I came to U.S. was being away from my cousin. I didn't get to say bye when I moved here.

# data[].attributes.body
My own experience of moving in USA looks very good. Of course when I first came in USA, I was shocked by the level of everything here. Every little detail was impressing me wherever I go or whatever I see. Cars, buildings, people, everything is different. I felt the wind of the freedom. I thought “this is the country where I can free my mind from garbage”.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was hard for me to understand any work or assignment the teacher gave me. Also making friends , and not only that but also I had a lot of pressure, at that time I was so stressed out.

# data[].attributes.body
If  just me come to U.S then my personal pressure will be many, come here no friend, don't know how to speak the second language which is bad also I don't want go to school becasue I don't know English I scared when teacher was ask me question about me.

in losing friends because you hardly communicate with them anymore, losing your culture.

# data[].attributes.body
The chaos I experienced was that I was taken away from my mom and my lil brother, and I had to move to a all different world were I don’t know no anyone, and can’t make friends because I do not know how to speak their language.

# data[].attributes.body
when I came to United States, I had a big stress.
I remember this moment, when I first time came to my middle school.
The teacher was asking me something, but I was not understanding and I started to cry and panic.
And then the whole day people was trying to communicate with me, but I couldn’t understand it, it’s why I was scared.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel...
I have/have not overcome the struggle...

# data[].attributes.body
unable to contact to others example with my family or with my friends

# data[].attributes.body
Well, having to leave my whole life there, leave my family, friends, people that I have not even finished meeting, for example, I have friends that I would like to meet in person, but I know that at some point I will return and see who I really hope that I return

Chaos that I personally experienced was that when I was moving to the U.S that my culture was staying in my country also my family and friends was staying in my country and I will not be able to see them for years.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all I felt emotional chaos like doubt and uncertainty. A question arose in my head , did I do that right to moving here (U.S.).

# data[].attributes.body
I will say yes, I have overcome a lot of stuff that has happen. For example, now I'm happy that I can understand my friends, family, or anyone. At first I really thought I wouldn't learn English and that was my biggest fear. But as the years pass by I understood that I had to be strong and confident in myself. However with what I'm learning now, can help me a lot in the future, like getting a job or anything that iI want to accomplish in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel better now, because there are wonderful people here.  Although I only 6 month here and I think in half year I will feel even better.

Right now I can not  to tell "I have/have not overcome the struggle".

# data[].attributes.body
I feel better now because now I was not scared to talk my classmate also I can make friend in this country, in the before I everyday have chaos emotional from school becasue I don't understand English a lot so is hard to face my teacher. But now I overcome the struggle becasue I face a lot of teacher and classmate they not bad and now I don't scared school anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
Right now I feel like New York is my home.
Now, I have a friends, I became more closer with my family when I came here, and now I speak english.
I feel so comfortable here and I like it.
So if I gonna see a new student who doesn’t speak English or like panicking because it’s a first day, I will help this person with schedule and support little bit, to make a person to feel better. Because he is not the only who going through this.

# data[].attributes.body

I know couple places to go and I definitely feel like I’m in my country. The American dream is the idea that I aim for. I want to grow up, live, work and study here. Have family, raise my kids - only in USA!
It’s my third month here and I can state that I’m feeling really good here

# data[].attributes.body
Actually I have already gotten used to living here, I feel bad but I know that this will happen over time, I mean that if before I did not understand why I am, before I wanted to return to my native country, but if I start to think, many people wish living here, many people want to fulfill the American wish and I have the opportunity I am not going to change my new future

# data[].attributes.body

At the first time when I flew to New York it was very difficult , especially morally , not knowing the language , people , manners , it was difficult , but later I began to get used to it , of course and now it isn’t easy , because another 100 percent do not know the language and also I am not completely used to it , but day after day it gets better , I think after a while everything will be fine !

I didn't feel any personal chaos before and I don't feel it today, overcoming the struggles of adapting to a new language was not that hard as I had expected. After coming to the US I felt better because I know I'm in a better place where I can live a better life.

# data[].attributes.body
now i feel better  and i feel  i need to get better on the language i think i need to improve my writing and reading
