My arrival in NYC at JFK

The 21th of September I left Belgium with my mom. When we arrived at JFK I was really shocked. The airport was very old and there was a lot of chaos and it wasn’t organized, there was no structure. I expected a modern airport because if you compare the airport in Brussels to JFK than Brussels airport is so much better and it isn’t even a big city like New York. But this wasn’t the point.There was one big line with so many people. We had to wait for so long. When it was my turn they asked me for a document that I did not have so they sent me to another place to complete it. After that I had to go back in line so I was very angry. I was tired and it was so crowded. The people were unfriendly. I didn’t expect it to be like that at all.

All about me

I always wanted to start a blog but I never had the time to do it. Now I'm in EF New York and we have the assignment to create a blog.
As most of you know my name is Merve and I'm 19 years old. I was born in Belgium but I have Turkish roots. I have 2 sisters and one brother they're all younger than me. I'm ''the big sister'' which also means a lot of responsibilities. I really love them and they're all special to me in their own way.

I just graduated from high school. I always said when I graduate, the first thing I want to do is study in New York and that's how it happened. Now I'm here in the USA living in the city that never sleeps.
