The Good After The Bad

Sometimes as a minor, you don't have any choices. What ever your parents say or do you must do. No questions ask no concerns about how you feel about it. "We had good", according to my concern in Puerto Rico. We had 2 houses, one of 7 rooms and another one of 2 rooms, a car, food, family, good education. At least that's what I thought, that everything was perfect... When I was 8 years old my parents decided to come to the United Sates because my dad was disabled and wanted to fight the incapacity. I was told, that it was going to be for a small period of 3-6 months. Of course it took over a year or more, because we got kicked out of family's houses and ended up at a shelter. In one year I attended to 5 schools. 

I suffered of depression, because it was a hard situation to be inn. As a little girl I couldn't understand why I wasn't progressing in school, I couldn't even make friends because I was afraid of changing again. Why get attached to people I was probably going to not see ever again? Also I got kicked back because of the changes and because of my English.  For a long time I was angry at my parents, because they had decided this for me. Not caring of my tears, emotional status. It's always hard for a young person to understand a lot of things. And I wasn't asked at all. 

At the time, when I lived in Puerto Rico, I loved the environment and living in front of my grandparents. But then growing up, now, my grandparents are gone. And I no longer see the point of going back, unless is just to visit. I Love my island, and there is no one that reps it Like I do. But at the same time I give thanks to my parents and to destiny because even though I didn't understood back then the reason of our changes of homes and our reasons to stay in the United Sates I grew to be probably better than what I could have living over there. I suffered, cried, even was put with a psychologist for a long time, but I overcame all of that. And now I love my Boston, I wouldn't change it for nothing is this world. My family from my household, my two brothers, sister and dad are all together now. And also my dad and mom are both getting type of medical help they needed. What else can I ask for? Everything happened for good, and for better.
