Essay About Moving Experience

Every kid at the age of four is still learning how balance themselves on a tight rope and learning how to draw a stick person. They don’t think about their future yet, every four year old is living carefree discovering new things about themselves what they are capable of doing. For me at the age of four I was placed in a difficult position, it was a hard chapter for me. Me being at the age of four I had to say bye to my friends and leave behind my family who raised me.
The idea of coming to the United States was always in the back of my mind because of parents being there and me living in Mexico City. With me being in Mexico City I had less or about the same opportunities that I have here but with the fact that in Mexico my opportunities were so much challenging due to transportation and money. Coming to the United States not knowing the language and knowing that I had to adapt and familiarized myself with the country was a challenge for me.
Leaving my hometown meant leaving back my friends and part of my family, the most important my grandma and aunt. I personally will always thank them both because they play a big role in my life. With the help of them being there for me in place of my biological mom made me appreciate

them a lot more because they took a big responsibility in taking care of me and making sure they raise me good so they can make my mom proud. When leaving Mexico I had part of them still with me because of the manners and values they taught me.
Coming to the United States was a first an excited feeling because I was given the chance to meet my biological parents for the first time.

Although there was still some frightening feeling with me because I was being exposed to the life that my parents had created here for me to live, which I appreciate a lot but settling in a different environment and with different routine it’s not easy at all. I had to go to school in the morning, create new friends, take English classes at home and adapting to this new life was difficult. Struggling and finishing growing up and my parents raising me I had two viewpoints in life and how different would it be if my grandma ad aunt wouldn’t have raised me the way they did. I appreciate things way too

much.
Now that I’m living with my parents they gave me the opportunity to do what I want and follow my dreams with both of them supporting me. I knew coming to this country was going to be a challenge for me but also I knew what it was in store or me, more opportunities and a whole different life style. Now that im on the way to succeed in life I want to give back to my grandma and aunt who were there since the day I could remember.
