I came to the United States for the first time 3 years ago, for the reason that they sent my dad to work here, since he is in the military. All the time that I lived in Maryland,USA it was an amazing experience where I got to enjoy, see new places and meet new people. In the middle of July I went back to my native country Guatemala, since they changed my dad’s job. My dad retires from the military on December, so he was applying for a new job in the United States as a teacher, because of the school education of my brother that is now going to collage and myself. The education is highly better here than in Guatemala, so it would be a great thing if he got the job. My family and I are already all settled here, we have a lots of friends and we feel pretty good and safe, since the crisis with violence and the economy in Guatemala is getting worse trough the years.
My dad had to come to USA again because he’s going to look for other jobs as well, and I came along because my school is starting on August 31st. I grew up in the kind of family that has always been together trough everything, the good and the bad and our relationship is very strong, so coming here alone just with my dad who wont be able to be around me that much was a big kind of deal for my mom and my other relatives. I have never been really alone in all my life and my mom has always been there for anything I need and to solve all my problems, so I really don’t know if I made the right decision to come and leave them. I’m the kind of person you could say responsible, but at the same time I need someone to nag me to do the things I need to do, which my mom has always done all my life. I’m 14, so I believe I can take care of myself pretty well, but I still wonder weather it was a good idea to come or not. I’m also not sure of what I am capable of doing, if maybe for a mistake I’ll hang out with the wrong people or something, and I know my mom wont be able to be there and help me trough it, since she’s far away. And what if I don’t like my classes or my teachers or something, I wont be able to just go buy a plane ticket and go back.. The only good thing is that I only have to study here for 2 months (September/October) and then I will be able to go back to Guatemala and still work on school stuff online, since they allowed me to do that in my school, and then if my dad gets the job, we’ll all be able to come back and live a normal family life again. So I personally don’t know if I made the right or wrong choice.
u should just trust ur stomach on wat u think is rite and just le things fall together. if u find it was easir back home then mayb thts wats for best but nvr give up on some thing u rly want
i think you made the right decision. eventually you have to start doing things on your own. i mean its nice to have your family to lean back on, but you have to be your own person and make your own decision sometime. if this is where your heart is, then go for it!
i think you made a good choice, you wanted to be with your dad or whatever. you get to be in a better school and you get to spend some quality time with you dad, when you get the chance that is. besides look at the good side your helping you dad with finding your family a better home.
Hi. Look I think you made a great choice. I know where you are coming from when it comes to your family. Mine is kinda the same, but schooling is very important. Without your schooling you won’t be able to get a job and help your family out. Your family may not be here now, but once this is all said and done with you guys will be a nig happy family again!
Good luck!
