I Moved to USA for 11th Grade and Journey to Bachelors Degree – Interview with Niraja From UTSA

Nirja was studying 11th grade in Nepal. Then her family immigrated to the USA. She had to move to USA in the month of February (in the middle of High School year). Typically, high school in the USA starts in the month of August. So, she was asked to attend 10th Grade (not 11th) for few months to get a feel for US Class Room settings and environment. It wasn’t easy for her, but she found a way to deal with the Cultural Shock.

Now, she’s a studying Bachelors Degree at University of Texas at San Antonio. I interviewed her to talk about her journey from Nepal to 11th grade to Junior in UTSA.
