In 2016, i moved to Hawaii with my husband and my lovely daughter, i fell very strong homesickness, so i couldn’t sleep well, didn’t want to eat anything and i cried all the time when i was missing family. I stayed home and didn’t want to go outside. Also i couldn’t talk to my family by face time because if i saw my family i cried and i didn’t want my family worried about me.After six months, my husband bought a ticket for me and let me went to China to see my family. So i remembered i was going to China four times in two years until i was in HCC. When my daughter and i went to school, my time became abundant and busy. So i know study English is very important for me .I also i need change my mind and start enjoy my new life in U.S. Fortunately, my family is always nice and understand me. We almost keep in touch everyday and we share our happiness. So i don’t feel homesickness as before and i don’t have much urge to go home.Right now, i miss my home and my family when i am writing homesickness ,but it is not serious anymore because i know their fine. So if i have time, i will go back China to visit them once a year. As for me, i think the homesickness comes from my missing and thoughts. How about you?
Lol, you are Went back to China four times in two years that must be cost you a lot of money. I think you should say thank you to Honolulu Community College because it saves you a lot of money to buy a flight ticket.
That was a good idea you went to HCC. I think when you focus on doing something that can distract your attention.

Hi Susana- I’m glad that your homesickness is not as bad as it used to be. I think meeting new friends at school and keeping busy helps keep your mind off the sadness. Does your daughter like Hawaii?
