Fear of a new life

Sometimes, a little change in your life can have a significant impact on the way you live, or on your personal state of mind. Some people are not prepared to any changes, or do not know how to manage a sudden upheaval that can bring them to a different life style. Three weeks ago, my sister, who was looking for a job, had been hired up by an interesting Multinational company. The only matter laid on the fact that the job location is in Cameroon, our home Country. Indeed, as all my siblings, my sister has left Cameroon very early at the age of 15 to continue her study abroad. The fact that she has spent almost the half of her life out of Cameroon has generated a sort of disconnection with the Cameroonian culture and way of life. She has borrowed a lot from the different French and American cultures that she had been in contact with, and she has adopted a new mentality that might be completely different from what people have in Cameroon. But the point is: what is the most important, being in a system where you seem to be more comfortable without a job or trying to adapt yourself in another where you will have a decent life? From my point of view, I would say that the proper of the human is to be able to adapt himself to any environment as difficult as it can be. My sister, who is leaving today, will have to struggle with these issues and prepare a comfortable future for her and her family.
