The decision which changed my future!!!

It was seven months ago when I finished high school in my country. In that time I didn't know what was the best for my future. I was so confused.

My mother have been here seven years and I didn't see her about two years or so. She wanted that I came to New York with her because maybe here were more possibilities for studying. I didn't know what can I do because if I accept her option, it had be very difficult. To left my family, my friends, and the most important point was that I never left my home before... I was thinking about that for many time, actually two months or so, sometimes I couldn't slept well and I didn't eat anything. Also, in that time I apply for many universities in my country and I passed in some ones.

I felt like a balance. In one hand I had the option to came to New York and in the other one I had to stay in my country. However I choose to came to New York. All my friends and my family told me very good advices to came here because here I could study without preoccupations for my future in Colombia...

Now I'm here and I'm happy because I'm studying English at La Guardia and then I hope I could go to collage to study Medicine because it is my goal!!!

Although, I speak with my family and my friends even and they give me courage to continue my way. Obviously I miss each other, but I will come back soon.
