It was almost five years ago. My family and I got an invitation to go to Embassy of the United States in my country, to take an interview for immigration to United States. In June, 2005 we went there, we were worried about it. We were sitting there and one of the workers called our last name we went there. Everything turned out better than I thought. We passed the interview and we got free tickets for flight. I was so happy that I am going to a new country that I never been to.
August 16, 2005 we are going to airport. My family and I were waiting for our flight. Our relatives were there too because they drove us and helped us to carry our baggage. Then the dispatcher called our flight. We started to say good bye to them my mom was crying because she was leaving her daughter and sister there.
The flight was really long and boring. It was my first time flying and was excited at first, but later I got so tired of flying for such a long time. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn’t because I wanted to lie down. We were flying for sixteen hours. We came to SEA-TAC airport and there my aunt her children and their husbands and wives, and also my grandma were waiting for us. I was so excited that we came and I finally saw all of them. Then we went to take our baggage and exit the airport.
When we went outside I was surprised and shocked for a moment because it is totally different from my country, the air is clean, the roads are not broken, so many cars, everybody is talking another language. The next day when I woke up I couldn’t figure out where I am, and what I am doing here. I thought that was a dream, but after a second I realized that it is not a dream. It is time to change life.
This event really changed my life a lot. I moved to another country, I learned another language and new culture. I started working, went to school, and started to drive. I found new friends, I grew up. Right now I don’t want to move back to my country, I like it here in United States, this is my home now. Life in the United States is easier and funnier than life in my country.

Life challenging issue

Everybody in the world has a challenge these days. My life is challenging too because I need to finish my education, get a well payable job and then get married. These days I am trying to get at least a part- time job, but I can’t find it because of the economic issue. I was trying to get a job since September. Today finally I got a call from one of the supervisors and he told me that I can come to interview tomorrow.

I think that life is a challenge because everybody wants to achieve something, but before they achieve it they should take a challenge. That could be a job, education or something else. These days the most common challenge for people is education because students are trying to get good grades in college, and they are trying to finish college and then transfer to university. When they transfer to university they are trying to get a financial aid because education in university is really expensive.

My life is challenging too because I am trying to get good grades and finish college too. I want to transfer to university, but it is matter of time. I want to get a job to collect money for wedding. These days everything is expensive, so if I want to get something I have to work hard for that. I wish that if I want to achieve something it would be easy for me, but that’s not going to happen.

In conclusion I would like to say that my life is really challenging. I try my best to get over these challenges. I hope that I will get what I want. Achieve my life goals. I wish this to everybody.
