There was once a life changing experience that I went through and became a part of me, that I’ll take with me forever. In fifth grade summer vacation going onto sixth, my mom and I took a flight to Venezuela the country which my father lives. My mom and dad separated when she was months pregnant with me, and he moved back to Venezuela soon after.

Also 1$ U.S is 6 Bolivares, So we were balling in this country, and the candy was like 20 cents each so yeah different but great. I spoke more spanish than I ever have here and found that over the weeks we stayed there my fluentness was getting better and faster, They greet and say good bye to each other by saying “Bendiciones” meaning blessings so that was something I
