 Most of the time I was with my parents walking around the city.

One day my dad and my mom started talking about taking me to the United States, my dad was not so convinced.

We lived in a small house but we doesn’t care about that.

Since I was little I always liked to see the trees while my father works as a blacksmith.

They asked me if I wanted to go to the United States and I said yes, we took out the papers and there were only days for me to leave, my mother, my brothers and I packed our bags, the last days in Mexico I spent most of the time with my father, the day came to say goodbye...

It was very difficult to say goodbye to my dad because I didn't want to let go of him at all, but there was no turning back, later I realized that it was getting late so I had no other option, we said goodbye with tears and went to the bus, we got on and I recorded it saying "bye" while we kept crying.

And then the moment came where my life took a 180 degree turn, I was happy and nervous at the same time. I did not know what the city was like and I wanted to meet it, we arrived in San Antonio and I was happy because everything was beautiful.

We arrived at the apartment and I greeted my stepfather, as soon as we arrived he took us for a walk, I was very excited as my brothers, we ate pizza and many other things, after many hours of fun, we arrived at the apartment again and we all fell asleep right away.

My mom and dad separated and I lived with my dad for 5 years.

He is my best friend forever, he always stayed for me and I never needed my mom because my dad was my mother figure and my father figure.

The whole time I was working with my dad in the taxi, always when the school ended I was with my dad.

He taught me how to drive just by watching my dad move his hands.

The first days at school were a bit difficult because nobody knew me and they looked at me strangely, and I did not understand very well what the teachers were saying, I felt sad and terrified but my cousin was in that same school but two grades older than I, she helped me in all my classes, she took me to the classrooms because I remember that I was lost all over the school.

One day I went to the bathroom and I met a girl called sashenka (she is from my grade) she helped me a lot in my work in my homework and became a great friend.

after days everything was improving, everything was much better I made new friends, improved my studies, improved my grades, and improved my language, I thank some teachers who helped me with my studies.

After days everything was improving, I no longer lost myself in school and then I met a girl named Daliana, she was my total salvation Because she helps me in almost everything and to this day she continues to help me because she helps me in almost everything and to date she continues to help me seriously, I really appreciate it.

Well... my father is a taxi driver, he had me in the car all day.

Sometimes we played whatever I wanted or sometimes we worked as a blacksmith.
