  Navigating Multiple Worlds

 Have you ever imagined what it would be like to be an immigrant? Imagine you come from a different planet. Your planet is busy and bustling with people. It is loud and buzzing with energy.You don't notice the little details around you like street signs or what's for sale at the grocery store; none of it is uncharted territory. The hum of a stranger's conversation doesn't distract, as you have heard this sound before. It is all familiar. Then, one day, you find out that you are moving to a new planet and suddenly, you find yourself in a completely new environment and a new role: you are a newcomer to Victoria, a city that is entirely foreign to you, as you are to it. What would you think?
