It was a cold winter day, February 2000, when I got into the plane, which was coming here in Toronto, Canada. It was a big day for me-the day I had to leave behind all my friends, relatives, and my precious childhood memories. I did not know what to expect. While I was getting into the plane, I had those double feelings that caused my body to freeze. The strong emotions of being happy, scared, and confused were having a powerful effect on my mind. I was unable to stop thinking of what was waiting for me ahead. After awhile, I came into my senses and realized that I was not the only one going through this. It was not easy for my parents either to leave their jobs and the past behind them. Their determination made me think that this change was for good. It was not because they were trying to make my life more complicated. On the contrary, they were doing their best in order to provide me with a bright and successful future. Therefore, I decided that I should be more supportive, since we were in this all together. As the plane left the ground and flew high towards the infinite blue sky, I realized that my life would be forever changed. I was going to live in Toronto, Canada forever, which wasn't an easy thing to do for a thirteen-year old child. .
After a twelve-hour trip, we finally arrived in the "land of opportunity". It was so beautiful to see all the dazzling lights that were right in front of my eyes. The city's beauty blinded me and made the terrible emotions that I felt, disappear for a while. I was only thirteen years old when I first stepped my foot in Canada, and I was not mature enough to understand the reasons why we had to leave our native country in the first place. As I was growing up, these reasons became more obvious to me. My parents had decided that it was time for me to get a more successful future. A better education, better life opportunities, and a greater safety were some of the commodities they wanted me to have.
