This writing is about why I am here, how I came, how coming to The United States changed my life. Coming to this country has changed my life in different ways, one of the most important is the relationship between my family and I. Before I came here, I lived in Colombia with my sister and my parents lived here. It is obvious that now we all are together and our relation is closer, but it is not just for that, here everything is different than in our country. For example, when my parents, my sister, and I lived in there we had a lot of problems which were obstacles between us. In addition, when I was in my country I had everything. For example, I studied in a great school, I went to the best university of my city. I always had everything that I wanted, such as cars, bikes or another material things that are really not important. I could have everything, but my happiness was never completely and I spent a lot of time of my life doing bad things. For example, I spent a lot of time in parties. Now, however, I think I am a better person and I can say that I am so happy. Of course, I have problems like everybody has, but my relationship with my family is much better and that makes me feel so good.
Since I came here in 2008, I was supposed to be here only for nine months to improve my English and then I was supposed to go back to my country. After nine months I went back to my country, but when I was in there I didn't feel good and I knew that I preferred be here. I was four months in Colombia and then I came back here. It is another reason that makes me believe that come here changed my life, because I had many plans to do in my country, but after I came here all those plans changed. I have learned a lot of things since I came here. For example, I have learned a lot of things from my classmates. I have learned that everyone has different cultures or traditions and I have learned to respect them. In addition, I have known many people who have made me think about life. They make me see that life depends on how I want to see it. For example, months ago I was frustrated about my plans. I was feeling so sad because I was thinking that I had been here for long time without getting what I wanted. Then, suddenly I met one girl who makes me see that I am so young. She made me think about it and now I am feeling myself better and I know that good things in life take time.
I really believe that coming to The United States changed my life. I have many reasons to believe that. Some reasons are explained in these essay and others are more personal. I think that coming here was a very good decision. Living here has been a very nice experience for me. I have no doubt that since I came here I am a better person and I can be better and better everyday.
I think your parants also happy to see how you changed. It must be a big decision for your parants to move to the US, but now, they must be feeling taht they made the right decision. I came to the US by myself and my family is still living in Japan. I also had friction with my family as many people have. However, I realized that how important my family is in my life since I started a family here in the US. Although I can't see them often, I always thinking of them and really care of them.
