When going Home means being an outsider again

What can go wrong when you have an American accent, an

American passport and your parents tell you you are going home after living 7 years in Uzbekistan? You will totally fit in, finally!

At least that’s what Jessi thought. I discovered her story while reading a blog she wrote for Families in global Transition, an NGO which serves as a forum for mobile individuals.

I was touched by the very authentic way  she described her 13 years old self facing difficulties she didn’t expect.

 I also discovered that she created a company named Kaleidoscope to help kids that go through the same type of difficult transitions.
