In the story Persepolis,Marjane went to Austria to pursue her education as well as getting a life security at the same time and this resulted her to be separated from her parents .Also, the new life that she is about to experience will get her to start living independently (Satrapi148)I believe this is something that most of our international students in De Anza have experienced . However, I started mine back when I was still very young.During the May 1998, the local Indonesians created a riot which took place in Jakarta and caused many Indonesian Chinese lives . As a result, I had to be separated from my parents when they sent me to Singapore with the reason being to get me into a place where there is life security as well as an excellent education.When my parents suddenly mentioned that I need to depart the following day, I felt shocked, upset and angry at the same time. Though my Parents have me in their best interest but I still not be able to accept that fact at that age of 13.
Just like Marjane, I could not sleep the night before and kept questioning myself on why my parents have to come up with that decision. During the departure day, I kept crying and hoping that they would change their decision. With all god's blessing, I am thankful with my parent's decision as well as giving me the chance to pursue the education in the US.
