My life changed in a blink of an eye, the moment I turned in sixteen years old. My parents told me, that it was better for my future to finish high school in America. I was thrilled, but at the same time I knew coming to America meant starting over. Leaving my country, my family, my friends, and my culture was the hardest thing I had to do in my life. After living two years away from parents, I can say that the sacrifice was worth it. Starting a life in a foreign country is very difficult. But I have learned that the key to succeed is adapting. I had to adapt to a new family, new people, new culture, and a new school.
