Today has been rough, just like the many others. I have been here for a while now and it still has not gotten any easier. I get made fun of and ridiculed for the way I look, dress, and what I believe in daily by all of these Americans. I know that it's only because I'm different but it's so embarrassing. But I know that it will be worth it in the long-run.
I have joined another group of people from Ireland. They are so nice, but sometimes it makes me miss home even more. It's supposed to make me feel at home here, and it does sometimes. But when I leave there and go back out into the real world, it brings me back to reality and that is that I'm not at home and I'm stuck here. I know that it will get better, I just need to give it time.
I really want to become more like the people here. Being in the "ethnic neighborhood" with other Irish people is nice, but spending time with them will not make it any easier when I go out into the real world. I am trying to branch out and eat the food from here and hang around Americans so that I can be more like them and maybe one day I will be accepted into their culture. But as for now, I am focussing on my job and making money to support you, dad, and the rest of the family.
Much love from America,
your daughter.
