  2. Yes, sometimes I feel like an outsider, when I go back to the Dominican Republic. It takes for me a while to get use to it, so I feel a little bit like an outsider but when I spend some time and meet my family and friends I reconnect again.

    connect to a group: yes, I was feeling like
    an outsider when I came to this country for first time. Why? The people were different. It was new city. I have to learn new language. The houses were different.

  9. Dear teacher,

    Yes,I felt once like an outsider. It was the first time that I came to this country and I began my new school year. It was hard for me to feet in with the others because most of them were monolingual and I am a bilingual student and I didn't feel like everybody was trying to make me feet in. I felt like they were trying to push me out. It was not comfortable.

  10. When you don’t belong to certain group they will consider you an outsider. I think there are times in every person’s live when he or she would feel like outsider. In my case I have felt like an outsider when I came to this school for first time. Now, that I know my teachers, have many friends, and I learning a lot I am and I have good grades. I don’t feel like an outsider anymore I am an insider now.
