(Weird accent) Hello! This video has been brought to you by NordVPN.

That accent has nothing to do with the rest of the video.

While I was growing up my family did a lot of moving.

then to Canada (and several locations within Ontario),

I've had a lot of experience with being the new kid at school.

I sometimes had the solidarity of my sisters whenever we became the new kids,

but of course we were different ages in different classes

and one of us usually made new friends sooner than the other.

I never went to school in the Philippines,

but I did go to a Filipino school in Saudi Arabia.

And that's why I was confused as a kid and thought Saudi Arabia was just another

Very-hot-and-somehow-dry-part-of-the-Philippines.

but so was everyone else because it was our first time in a school environment.

The biggest change that I've experienced must

We didn't have any family that lived here,

only a few friends that thankfully helped to settle in.

I didn't know English too well and had a girthy accent.

I was only 7, but was aware enough to know that I was different from my classmates

I got my fair share of Asian prejudice growing up,

and I didn't really know how to make friends.

But somehow I did and they just so happened

Not only that but also because we shared so many interests.

Video games, Transformers, Power Rangers, (Noice)

I felt so relieved that coming from the other side of the world, being an outsider,

And I no longer felt wary about being in a new country.

Today I'm able to maintain friendships with people around the world (internet friends“꒳”)

pretty much meant you were never gonna see your friends ever again. :((((

I then moved to MissisSAUga which was an hour away.

I was in grade 3 and while I was nervous making new friends again,

I soon realized that not everyone really had their friend groups established yet.

There were actually a few other new kids as well.

I didn't seem to have that much trouble befriending other kids

because during recess, people would often set up games like tag or foot hockey

and they'd invite pretty much anyone available to play.

One being my rival and best friend at the time, Michael.

nakama (仲間 means colleague, compatriot, friend or comrade),

I really respected him and his chill, humorous personality.

That's probably when I really started wanting to be a funny person.

I honestly thought that I'd stay at that school until I graduated,

my parents told us some news that we were all too familiar with... (o h n o)

This time we were only moving somewhere else within the city

but it still felt like a thousand miles to a kid.

I kept in touch with some friends for a while

The move was kind of odd for me and my siblings.

It happened a little more than a month into grade six

so I had to say goodbye to everyone at the beginning of the year instead of the end.

I almost felt like a plot device in an anime,

where a new kid transfers into a class in the middle of the year.

You guys remember the story of Alvin and how that turned out.

the teacher appointed one of the students to show me around

They belong more with the jocks group and asked me to play football with them during recess.

I didn't want to be alone, but it was then that I realized...

I just didn't feel like I really clicked with any of 'em.

Actually, one of them was kind of a dickhead and bullied me every now and then

I like to think my past moves have helped me befriend people quicker,

especially with Michael's outgoing influence on me.

depending on what side of the road you lived on.

We all then became new kids in the newly built school,

so it wasn't really a problem because everyone knew everyone.
