For the first prompt, I could talk about when I moved to the United States 5 years ago. I could talk about how excited I was to move to a new place where I can meet new people and see new things. Back then I really didn’t think about the challenge I would face here. This displacement changed a lot in me and made me who I am today.
For the second prompt, I thought of when I left my old house and moved to another one. I have no emotional connection with my new house whatsoever. I remember when we had to go to Egypt to move our stuff to the new house, it the worst feeling. Now I can’t even go back to my old house because it was gentrified.
For the fourth prompt, I could talk about how language plays an important role in my life. When I speak a whole conversation in one language whether Arabic or English I feel like part of me is missing. I like to speak a mix of the two languages, but that could be hard sometimes when I speak with someone who only speaks one of the languages.
