You must understand that not all residents will be kind to you at first. Time is key when moving somewhere new. When I first moved to the town I live in currently fitting in did not come easy to me, it still doesn't.

It all started on an Autumn afternoon back in 2012, when my beloved mother told me that she decided that it was best for me, my sister and her to move to U.S.A. Don’t get me wrong, since I was a little girl, I wanted to travel the world, I wanted to experience new things, meet new people, talk different languages. But not at twelve.
