Relocating to different schools can have a substantial effect on a person’s life. New schools typically present a person with new friends, new surroundings and sometimes a completely different and unfamiliar environment. Thus was the case, when at thirteen, I transferred to a middle school, which compared to my former school, gave me the impression that I was comparing two entirely different worlds. The first feature that struck me was obviously the school’s appearance, the design and the sheer size of the structure. Connected to the high school it seemed massive in comparison with my former school. Other than the school’s physical elements, the entire school system had built its foundations on an American system. For the previous six years, I had been taught Korean in Korean and the teacher and students had without a doubt been Korean. Students in this school were required to walk from one classroom to another for each period, lugging their schoolbags and textbooks as thick as encyclopedias. Lockers with dials caused me much frustration and embarrassment for the first few days of school, and I realized much of the class work depended heavily on the use of computers; a dozen of them could be found in every classroom.
