Mexico and Family

When we emigrated to the United States, I was was really sad because I wanted to stay in Mexico. I liked living in proximity to my family, specially my cousins because we played all the time. We always had a good time being facetious with each other. When I moved to the U.S.A. everything changed because my communication with my cousins was truncated. I was really sad that I could no longer have fun with them. When I arrived to the U.S. , I had the impression right away that I would not be happy here, but I had no choice. There was such a huge disparity between the U.S. and Mexico; life was so different. I hoped my sadness would be transient; I hoped that with time it would pass away. But a year passed and my sadness persisted. I prayed to God, the omnipotent, to help me be happy. It seemed as if I was after happiness, and it just kept evading me. Happiness seemed to be elusive, but one day things changed. Things started to be more spontaneous and enjoyable. At school, I just went with the flow and everything didn't seem as compelling as before. things didn't seem than compelling. I enjoyed everything a lot more, and suddenly, I felt a lot happier than before. When I got to the U.S., things didn't seem very auspicious, but as time went on I realized that here I could make my dreams come true. I acquired the ability to understand the people here, and I assimilated into the American culture.
