Synopsis
Starting college can be exciting, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
This is the updated second edition of Tina Quick’s book written to and for students who have been living outside their "passport" countries but are either returning "home" or transitioning on to another host country for college/university. These students are known as third culture kids, cross culture kids, or global nomads, but they have no clue how they are being impacted by their cross-cultural lifestyle until they have an experience that wakes them up to the fact that they are different from others. This commonly takes place upon repatriation for college or university when they are surrounded mostly by those who have never ventured away from their home country or culture. What results is the feeling of cultural imbalance, not fitting in, inability to connect with their home-country peers. They feel like a "fish out of water."
The Four Pearls: Tina addresses in detail the four most common stumbling blocks TCKs face in the transition to college/transition that can come as a huge surprise. She explains these common but unexpected challenges, why TCKs/CCKs have them, and what they can do to confront them.
