In the lap of America

Almost two months of teaching and two and half months of stay in America-
I feel like this. There is a lot that I can relate my stay here in America with this picture.

After almost two months of teaching and two and a half months in America, I have come to feel a certain way about my experience here. I can relate my time in America to this image: I've found places where I can feel comfortable, and I have worked hard to reach them. I had to climb up and establish myself in my comfort zone. It took time, and I still need to be cautious and hold on tightly to avoid falling. I must endure any inconveniences I feel while presenting a smiling face to others. My stay here has become more meaningful than I initially expected. I have kept myself busy with work and activities to help distract from homesickness; this is the only way I can adapt to the situation. It's also what has allowed me to appear "groovy" to my friends. However, I genuinely miss my family, friends, colleagues, students, and my school. I miss you all

I miss India.
