"For which trimester?" I responded to that question
Actually that wasn't even intentionally, as it was at the moment when a lot of classmates asked each other, what their's average note is.
That's became a joke of the class until the end of the school year :)))
I don't really know if this post belongs on this sub reddit, because its more of personal experience than something on a subject of traveling.
My family moved from our country due to political situation and for the last 4,5 years changed few countries and 6 schools. Most, almost all that time we've spent in France thanks to temporary social help for immigrants. As a teenager, in 4 years i learned the language on high enough level, to be taken seriously by teachers, doing same exact work as native students. Technically i'm in good relationship with a lot of people, but i still cannot name any of them as "friends" (at least in my understanding of friendship). Over time i lost contact with everyone of my childhood best friends, because we just changed so much living in different conditions and informational fields. Even though I am European, there is a big differences in mentality. I don't get the way they build relationships. it is similar but so different at the same time. I've tried to adapt copying intonation, the way they hold eye contact during conversations, their gestures, type of humour, parts of small talk; try to fucking understand how they get to know each other without asking questions such as "what are your hobbies?", cus i literally heard this question only few times when kids get to know each other or from teachers. I feel that was raised too differently to truly be considered one of them, but already became too different from people of my own country to be on my place when i return (noticed that it already gets harder to make connections or talk without sounding off :_) (mostly in the internet though) )
Do anyone have similar experience? Or has to tell something/give advice?
[Anyway, thank you for reading it :) ]
