I have been absent for a long time and I apologize for the wait. In the meantime I thought about new ideas of contents that I will share on this page. Today we\u2019re taking a trip to another country and we\u2019re going to talk about \u201cCultural differences and cultural shock\u201d. Some of you have already left your home country to go live abroad, some are planning on leaving and you will certainly face cultural shock. I hope this article will help you understand what culture differences are while providing tips on how to face them. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">As some of you already know, in December 2019 I applied for Global UGRAD which is an undergraduate exchange program financed by the US department of State. I was lucky enough to be one of the finalists and I got accepted to St Cloud State University in Minnesota, United States. Which means I\u2019ll be spending an entire semester in the United States representing my country and sharing my culture with the world. I left Ha\u00efti in August and I am now adjusting to life as a student in the United States. So far there have been ups but also downs and I will do my best to share with you, throughout my articles how my journey is going. This article is aimed mostly towards high school students or anyone planning to move abroad whether it\u2019s permanently or just for school\/work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coming to the US wasn\u2019t that much of a big deal since it\u2019s not my first time traveling to come here. Nevertheless, the thought of going to school in another country, studying in another language, living on campus far away from my family whom I\u2019m super close to, were things I wasn\u2019t used to and that were stressing me out. It was my first time traveling alone and I had to take three flights back to back to back from Port-au-Prince to Minnesota. The journey was long, stressful and my anxiety level was super high. Thanks to God, I made it safely and I couldn\u2019t be happier but little did I know what was waiting for me there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you know, I always have to educate my readers on terms that I will use throughout my articles. Since I got here I have been noticing a lot of cultural differences, things I\u2019m not used to back home. Some are shocking, others fascinating. To understand better here are the definitions I found for Cultural differences and cultural shock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cultural differences<\/strong> <strong>vs Culture shock<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Cultural differences<\/strong> are the various beliefs, behaviors, languages, practices and expressions considered unique to members of a specific ethnicity, race or national origin<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Culture shock<\/strong> refers to <strong>feelings of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety<\/strong> that people may experience when moving to a new country or experiencing a new culture or surroundings.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I got accepted to St Cloud State University, the first thing that came to my mind was the fact that I know I wouldn\u2019t find other Haitian people around. Quickly, I went on google map and I tried to find if there were any Haitian restaurants in the area but sadly without any luck. I decided to take a leap of faith and come to Minnesota, a state of approximately 85% white people (<em>Source : World population review<\/em>) . I thought I was prepared for what was waiting for me but once I got there I realized I was not and since day one I experienced some ugly sides which I\u2019ll talk about another day. For now I\u2019ll just share some tips on how to deal with Cultural differences and how to face culture shock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Keep an open mind<\/strong>. Whenever you go to another country, another place or even somewhere within your own country, you always have to keep in mind that not everyone received the same education as you. Therefore, you should refrain yourself from judging too quickly. For example, I\u2019m still trying to accommodate myself to the fact that people here don\u2019t greet each other. You could be in a room and someone else comes, looks at you and doesn\u2019t say hi\/good morning\u2026. At first I thought it had something to do with how I look, my race(it might)\u2026 Back home not greeting people is considered rude and if the other person is sassy they\u2019ll be like : \u201cM te d\u00f2mi av\u00e8 w?\u201d which translates to \u201cDid I sleep next to you?\u201d Lol. The first few days were hard but now I know it\u2019s a part of their culture so I refrain myself from making judgments. I won\u2019t lie and say I\u2019m used to it now but we\u2019re getting there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Be patient. <\/strong>When you move to another country patience is key. For someone who\u2019s not patient at all, this has been a challenge to me. I was complaining (still am) about the fact that I am not able to really make friends. I have other UGRAD students with me which is amazing but they\u2019ve met other people and have other friends meanwhile most of the time I\u2019m in my room because I don\u2019t have anyone to hang out with. But I\u2019m being patient because I know some people will come along.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Ask questions to learn more about the culture. <\/strong>Good thing for me, one of the requirements of the program is that I have to take a US history course. So I enrolled in a class called Race in America and every week I learn something about what makes the United States what they are now. Also every time I get the chance to talk to someone who\u2019s from Minnesota I ask them questions about their culture while also making sure to share a glimpse of mine too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Go out and visit. <\/strong>What better way to learn about another culture then to go out and see it for yourself : try other food, attend cultural events, go to museums etc\u2026 Sadly St Cloud is not a big city so there aren\u2019t really many options (at least not for me) when it comes to going out. As someone who loves to stay in her crib, I use this as an excuse to not go out. Regardless, my school has been planning some events for international students and I often participate. So far the Minnesota State Fair was the biggest event I\u2019ve been to and it\u2019s where I got to experience the good and the ugly side of this state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1018 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_8085.jpg?resize=646%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"646\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_8085.jpg?resize=646%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 646w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_8085.jpg?resize=189%2C300&amp;ssl=1 189w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_8085.jpg?resize=768%2C1218&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_8085.jpg?w=828&amp;ssl=1 828w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6. Stay in contact with people back home<\/strong>. It\u2019s important to call\/video call your friends and family back home when you have free time. Thankfully technology has made this even easier. After a month, I still don\u2019t really feel homesick and I think it\u2019s because I video-call my family at least once a day. It helps me feel closer to them and also helps me stay strong.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Join clubs or organizations, a community group or church<\/strong>. If you wanna meet people (locals) who can teach you about everything that makes the city unique, find a community group or go to a local church. I\u2019ve noticed that those people are super friendly and open. You can also join the clubs and organizations at your host university because you\u2019ll meet people from different backgrounds and cultures but also people experiencing cultural shock just like you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>7. Do not make comparisons <\/strong>. Don\u2019t try to compare this culture with yours. As I always say in my articles <em>Comparison is the thief of joy<\/em>. When you start comparing, you will not find happiness. For example if you keep comparing the dishes from home and the ones you\u2019re experiencing now, nostalgia will take over. You might not like what they serve most of the time and that\u2019s okay, you\u2019re trying something new.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1006 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=1170%2C1560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karoslittlecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/img_6760-scaled.jpg?resize=1280%2C1707&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of the day, being able to willingly leave your country and go study abroad is a blessing. Not everyone is fortunate enough to experience this and I\u2019m forever grateful for this opportunity. Nevertheless, if you\u2019re not prepared mentally, your time there will be awful. You\u2019re never fully prepared but articles like this one can make a difference.
