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!
U made a great choice just follow ur heart cause ur situation is not so bad
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!
You made a good choice[:
You should follow your heart, whatever you do. <3 [:
I would love to hear directly from the source. It make a difference.
I think you made a good choice.
I have a guy that is in the navy that I talk to, he is from that country. I can not spell it. He taught me a lot about that country. He failed to mention the violence because he was worried about my safety. He wanted me to meet his grandparents and his parents, whom still live there. I have talked to his parents once before and they explained to me that it was a bad idea for me to go see them because of it all. So I guess you made a better desicion for yourself. I know it hurts you to be seperated, but at the end it is all worth it. Things will soon go your way, I promise you.
I come from no good family. No good people. I got no good qualities. Nothin good to offer. Ur very fortunate to have good folks around you. I’m notsomuch…
you should do what you think will make your parents proud
i think you did the right thing as long as your family is not mad or upset with you. Im colombian and somwthin similar happend, but i moved with my parents and sister.
Just kepp being your self and dont forget your values …. dont matter what other think about you.
:)
I think you made the right choice. I mean you eventually have to be on your own, right? So why not start now? I mean the earlier you start, the easier it’ll be for you. I think that just knowing that you’re family would be there for you is good enough. And besides, school in America isn’t bad. It’s your big break for a better education, right? So go for it!
i think you did the right thing you should do what is best for u and if being with your dad is whats best then thats where you belong
me and my boyfriend fight alot i love him and i know he loves me i need to walk away but i cant so then i make it worse i need help
kim does he phycially abuse u?
if he does then u ditch his sorry ass
but if he is a new boyfriend and u verbally fight more then u’d like then just get helped.
but if he is ur boyfriend for a while and ur fights a reallyyy harsh and it scaring u then “take a break, or cool down” after u’ve had time to think it’ll really help.
no he dont
i think that you made a great choice for choosing to go stay with your family and get a good study. i dont know if i cood do that
I think that you should make the USA your home country – you may feel that you miss home but this can be your home too. You can make friends at school that you will have a lot in common and you have so much to look forward to now that you can be independent. If I was in you situation I would make a plan to see how you feel at the end of the year to decide if you want to stay or not to stay. If you decide to stay make a good reputation of yourself with people around you. You will be more confident knowing that people like who you are and can help you out better when you get stuck in a situation that you may not be able to get out of. You seem like a smart girl. So make your own judgement. And hang in there. – Christina

Hi, my name is Jasmine. I think you made a good choice. I’m from Puerto Rico, so I’m in your shoes. I came from Puerto Rico to the USA. I really don’t know why my family wanted to move here. I think it’s for a better life. Anyway, I moved here only with my dad at first so that we could check out the USA before the rest of my family came. It was nice and all, but at the moment, when the rest of my family wasn’t there, I felt the samething you did. If my father had to stay there, along with me, then I’d choose to go back home with the rest of my family. Though most would think it’s being selfish to leave my father alone, they don’t know how I feel. But I know how you feel, and I assure you, YOU MADE A GOOD CHOICE!!!
P.S. The rest of my family are in USA now. I miss Puerto Rico!!!
I believe education is important and myself love my family. It is very hard to be away from one family member let alone a bunch of them is very tough.I think you made the right descion and by your info are already back home with your family! God Bless
I really love him what do I do his mom needs some serious help!!!
i think you should follow your heart. do the best for both of you. if he wants something else. see if you can try to do that with him.
i think you should follow your heart and break up with his sorry ass
do what makes you happy cause thats all its ever gonna come down to is what makes you happy and what makes you want to look forward to tomorrow
do what makes you feel good and happy
do what makes you feel good and happy don’t do the things that make you sad or mad
Hi my name is Tiffany and I need some advise and so far I haven’t got any good advise so here’s my story when I was 2 my mom left me for a guy and my dad was in jail so u went to live with my grandma and grandpa after that my life went down hill I cut and think about killing myself and when I was 8 my cousin touched me since that I haven’t been the same so I really need advise I feel like I want to die
Hey Tiffany! I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. Take your problems to God. None of this is your fault. Pray and ask for His help. If you have a bible, look up Jeremiah 29:11… it will encourage you. I am praying for you!
PS… there are ppl everywhere that love you and are praying for you!
I need somewhere to vent so here it is: My name is Annie, I am fourteen years old in eighth grade at a small school, my life is very hard to cope with, and my counsling at my school doesnt seem to help. I have recently been dealing with some issues facing my mothers attempt of renterning my life. I have lived with my dad since i was one, my dad got custody of me and my brother because my mother developed a habit. After my mother lost us, she didnt stop. She was put in federal prison until just a few years ago. She is now attempting to tell DHS lies continuously to try for custody of me. The first false report was that my father tried to molest me. Being as young as i was having been through all of the doctors and DHS questioning really put a damper on my ‘childhood’. By the age of 9 I was forced to have to mature quickly, cope with rough things, and defend my loved ones. at age 9, I watched my father (who’s crippled from a car accident that severly injured his spine and gave him a permanet limp) be tackled to the ground by two policemen. That’s the point i stopped trusting police, doctors, and any DHS workers… My mothers second false report was ‘kids are being left unattended while father goes to bar and doesn’t feed them’ this was another whole series of questioning that caused mental trama on me. I was sad, i remember thinking to myself multiple times ‘if i wasnt born mommy and daddy would have a better life, mommy and daddy would still be together’ and also thinking ‘I just wanted to go see mommy this weekend, but the men in the black suits won’t let me talk to her very much’……. Now my mother is trying to tell my father that I want to move in with her. This is stressing me and my dad both out, considering my dad’s physical condition at the momment he is unable to leave the house because he threw out his back 2 weeks ago and the metal disks in his back make walking nearly impossible. I’m gladly supporting my father in his time of need, but my mother says otherwise. My dad now worries that I just don’t want to hurt his feelings. That is not the case however, I did reassure him. I’m fourteen, I’m in Eighth grade, and i have a permant muted cry for help. I have ambitions im a A,B student. I’m an aspiring journalist. All i need is a normal adolesent life, but my call for help is yet to be anwsered.
