The hardest decision for me was to decide come to this country United States, to live with my dad and other relatives. Just the fact that I will not have my mom next to me is a sentimental problem that I have. Leave my mom, my grandmother, my sister and my country was the hardest part in the decision that I took. At the beginning the notice that my dad want to live with me in another country was happy because that was one of the most important thing that I want since I was a child but then, when I start thinking that I will be missing the most important women’s in my life the sad part came true, also that I will be missing my culture and friends make me sad too. In March 18, 2008 I was leaving Cuba, a new life was waiting for me.
Over there were a turn of 360 degrees came in my life. A new life with my dad was expecting for me. I have to learn a new language, a new life style and new things about this country. My dad helps me with the culture and the new life, but about the new language, I had to learn by myself. That was a challenge for me, but at the same time was excited because I am that kind of person who likes to challenge life. When I started in high school they send me first to an International School to learn English, over there I make new friends. In the International School they teach me the basics things in English but the hard things I had to learn it by myself, it was a goal that I still have. Learn English is a goal that I already complete; the new goal is to improve my English and make it better.
Adapting to this new life was another step in my decision. I had to learn new manners, which, I did it. Adapt to a new weather was another thing that I have to deal with, because in my country we just have two seasons, almost one which is summer. Interact with my dad was other step because when we life at Cuba we seem each other and I spend time with him, always two months (vacations), but I never had an experience living
