I have to write a thesis for iy personal essay. i am choosing the time when i came to america when i was in second grade leaving my home country.

My teacher just told us to come with the thesis first, but i can't put mine into words.

can you please help me?
I guess when I came to america, i was excited about the fact that i was actually going to a different country. i came from india so USA is definitley different from my home country.

I felt excited but scared of how i was going to fit into this environment. how everyone in school was going to look at me. i also couldn't believe that i was in a different country. i never thought i would live in america, but i am for ten years.

i was also sad about leaving my family behind and was thinking when i was going to see them.

now i have to write my feelings into a thesis. i don't know how to explain in a sentence how this incident effect's my life. i just don't want to write i was scared and excited. how do i make my thesis mean more me just coming to america.

this incident does effect my life because i plan to live here for my whole life, but i don't know how to actually write it down and tell my readers how this actually effected my life.
How about?

Immigrating to the United States was the most momentous event of my life.
