Looking back at my past and present life, I feel as if I’ve been through so much in life that somehow if I decided to write a novel, my stories would have a little truth with my personal life. This story I will write on is somehow like my life, but most of isn’t really true about my personal life.
I would like to write about a story of 15 years young girl name Diana, who always had a dream to leave her home and go experienced the world. Diana grew up in a third world country where the community she lived in was full of people with broken dreams, no dreams or had never had a chance to fulfill their dreams. Unlike her friends, Diana had bigger dreams for herself. One of her goal was to leave her country and go to the United State. One day her school decided to give away few scholarships to some of the most outstanding student to go to the U.S.A, and Diana was one them. When Diana moved to the U.S.A, her life changed drastically. She had no family, friends, nor did she speak English. For few years she struggles to fit in the new culture, but founds it hard because she has nobody to relate to. Even though Diana had always had a dream to come to the U.S.A, she later begins to feel lonely and she starts to wonder if she made the best choice of leaving everything she knew. Throughout the book I’ll explain all the struggled she had to face with the new culture. In the end she has to choose to either go back to her homeland or stay in the U.S.A where she had many opportunities to fulfill her dreams.

I really like your idea for a young adult novel. I cannot even imagine how difficult it would be to move to a new country for new opportunities when you are leaving behind all of your family friends and the culture you know so well. Diana was brave for moving in the first place I do not think I would have been that brave. I think this would be a great book for foreign exchange students as they come to a new country and have to learn the culture to better their own lives. I’m interested to know what made you think of this idea for a novel and what parts if any relate to your own teenage experience. If you ever did decide to write a novel like this I would love to read it!!
