Dear Newcomer,

I see you—brave, determined, and doing your best to find your place in a new land. I see the strength it takes to smile through uncertainty, to show up each day despite the homesickness, the language barriers, and the unfamiliar systems. I know it’s not easy, and there are days when you may question if it’s worth it. But I’m here to remind you: keep going. You are not alone, and every step forward—no matter how small—is a victory. This journey will shape you in ways you never imagined, and before long, you’ll look back and realize how far you’ve come. Keep going—you’re doing better than you think!
