On May 1st, 2013 I came to America. I was sad because my mom didn’t come with me. It was hard because my mother was crying a lot and when she cried it upset me very much because there was nothing I could do. The first day I got here I went to my father’s house and there my sisters supported me a lot which made me feel more comfortable. They told me that it was not bad to be here and after some months I would start having friends and having fun over here.
It was not easy being in a country with a different culture and where I had no friends but the fact of having relatives in America made me feel a little bit more comfortable because I know that they would be always there for me and they would do everything to support me and made me feel at home. After some months I started getting used with the American culture and the English language itself. Also I started getting to know more people and having a lot of friends.
I know that every time we move to a different country that things are not easy, but in my case I know that being far away from Cape Verde will be helpful to my future. I feel that travelling to America was great because I learned a lot and I can only benefit from it.
I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things that I wouldn’t be able to learn in Cape Verde because here the school provides better opportunities to the students since America is a country richer than mine. Also here I have the opportunity to not only graduate from high school but also to go to college and have a great career in the future.
