New Life

       They say the hardest thing in life is starting over again. I never believed it until I had to leave my country. I had waited for this day all my life, but the day had finally come and everything looked so different. Instead of joy I had tears.

 

        It was a morning like every other one, the smell was so delicious it woke me up. It was my grandmother's coffee There's nothing in the world better than that. I opened my eyes and saw my big sister on my bed. She was looking at me sleeping which was cute and strange; but to her it's not cute, she is not an emotional person at all. She said to me "I will be waiting on the day that I will see you again." That's when I started to realize that I was going to be missed. I stood there thinking "why these people are crying? Going to USA should be fun." I went outside and saw my childhood friends. I thought they were going to be happy for me, but instead they were crying. I remember saying “ you guys are acting like I am going to die''. One of them said softly, "That's because we're going to miss you." I said, “I am going to miss you guy's too,". Still I didn’t know what was going on. I went to take a shower that was the best shower. It was fast and I dressed myself I was ready to go, I started to realize that I wasn't happy anymore. All of my Happiness was gone. I started questioning myself about what did happen to me. I couldn’t find any answer. My uncle came to took my mother and me to the airport.

          Arriving at the airport my whole family was there. My Grandmother touched my face as nobody ever did it before. She told me if we are not going to see each other again remember that I love you, you're my favorite granddaughter. Tears started falling down my face and I said, "grandma everything will be fine and I will see you again I promise, she said to me baby don't promise anything, only God knows how long am I going to live," she took me in her arms and gave me the biggest hug ever I told her that I love her. I looked at my sister in the eyes and started to remember every single night that we spent together, how much I’ve loved her company she gave me a big kiss and said, "I know what you are thinking right now, you are going to miss me and my delicious food even though it wasn’t that, I smiled and said, ''Girl you guessed it. I heard they call the number of my flight And my mom said, ''It's time sweetie" That's when I broke down I kept crying until I couldn’t say anything.

        Arriving in the United states, I remembered it was so cold right away I felt so bad about my decision. Missing home everyday, I cried every single night when I first came. My grandmother passed away two months after I left. It pained me to say that she was right about our last goodbye. Life over here is so different than my country I never saw snow until I came here, It’s never been cold in my country. I don’t know my neighborhood and I can’t trust anybody which is really different than my country. Things are so different here, but the USA gives me the opportunity to become whoever I want to be. I just have to fight for my dreams, which is different than my countrty I have no regrets.
