                                                             My Life







Just imagine waking up one morning thinking everything is fine but really it
 wasn’t,and I was too young to understand. My parents stood on a road where 
it split in two, where they took a decision to find a new road. My father's 
decision was to move out of my native country Colombia and, move me with 
the family to the United States, was my turning point in my life.





My life as a kid was the greatest, just playing all the time, no worries, just been 
a kid. Specially hanging around my cousins, uncles ,aunts, and that big family 
that it was so happy. It wasn’t all fairy tales, well for me it was, but for my 
parents the unemployment and the inflation rates that sweep the country was
the cancer of their hopes, also  looking at me and my brother growing up without
a future in Colombia. when it came down to it to decide to move out Colombia,
They took on the great crusade of moving the family to the great country of the 
United States, moving to a totally new culture and different language, so it was
a wall to overcome in the long run. Eventually all the playing around and no 
worries as a kid wasn't all over, but just a different language to watch cartoons 
in.

   















Once already in the United States experience began to change for us in a great
way.This move made this event into the my life turning point. Along the way long 
time friends that move from Colombia too helped us with everything that we 
needed, especially for my brother ,and me to get to the right school, and to my 
parents hooking them up with jobs and favors like taking them to get the driving 
license, but mainly just taking us hand by hand until my family and I felt more at 
home. Also the new culture that was being put in from of my eyes was totally new
for me, like for example the hip hop nation and all of its componets. Now been 
this my turning point in my life and been part a new great country, it really gave 
hope to my family to keep fighting to a better living and future in the United 
States.       





When it comes to the event that change my life and letting it  become my turning
point, it was the move to the United States from Colombia. A broader and smarter
future that I wouldn't had in my country was in reach for me ,and my family.
