On the other side, I was excited to see the whole new world with so many different ethnicities in the U.S. It was a struggle for me to adjust with the culture and the school, here in the U.S. I was homesick too, for awhile.

I was living from friend’s house to friend’s house until I was old enough to work. Through all that I’ve been through, I still managed to fall in love. I had relationships here in there but nothing too serious. I live in a dark place for 18years. I found a job and started to saved up some money so that I can buy a car and my own place to stay. Furthermore, I met a Christian girl that made an impact in my life. We broke up after three years due to my financial struggle and a lot of disagreement between us which led her to leaving me.
