Personal Narrative: Moving Scotland From Nepal

Decent Essays
12th August 2012, the day which was an attack of nerves for me. I was very intimidated to move Scotland from Nepal which made me wrecked. I was really unhappy as I was leaving behind my home, grandparents, friends and culture. Nepal is a fascinating country where I was born. It is a place close to my heart and always will be. I was saddened to leave this behind. However, I knew deep down it was favorable for me to move. As I wouldn't have been able to get opportunities which I am getting in Scotland such as education, Job, etc.
Next day, I arrived at Glasgow Airport. I saw a crowd of people of different races, culture and accents. I was an alien to this country. They were walking with backpacks on the back and cell phone on their hands outside

Everyone in the book was alienated, the two main characters, a handicapped man, a man of a different ethnicity, and a woman.
