To take decisions

Since we are kids we start taking decisions. Sometimes it was easy because you used to decide what kind of game you prefer to play. While, time goes by decisions become more interesting and you are not feeling so confident anymore. Some decisions implicate leaving other things or carry out sacrifices. At the same time, when we decided something we have to be prepare for some consequences. To decide coming here it was a huge change. I had to leave many things I have already started; as my family and friends. Like I was saying we have to be prepare for the consequences, in my case it was to get use to this new life and country. Now, to finish my college it would take me more time and sometimes I feel I don’t belong here. Sometimes, I feel homesick and I would like to leave everything and go back home. When I feel like that before calling my mom I always call my sister. I know she will say the perfect words that I need in that moment. One of the things she will say is “sistersita all the sacrifices you are doing today you will see those reflects tomorrow”. After she says that and even I had heard that many times is still being very helpful. Every time, it sounds like if it was the first time she ever says that to me. This is something I decided; for the moment there are not change of plans. I am going to stay here, keep going with my studies and trying to adapt to this country. All the consequences that had showed up and the ones that would show up in future I will take in an easy way. May be they would be nice things and others not so good. I will pass through nice experiences and other ones probably really bad. In any case, I’m going to try to keep a positive attitude and just thinking that someday I would be thinking “it was one of the best experiences”.

We all have to make decisions in any way. This is to show that we have the ability to decide for ourselves. Of course we don't know what will happen to our decisions until we find out the results at the end. I'll give you credit for your determination to succeed in life.
