My first
day in THE
United
StateS
I
was 18 years old when I came to this beautiful country in 2004. When I arrived I remember that day. I
looked at my brother after two years without seeing
him. It was something very special to look at him again
because we grew up together, and were inseparable.
But that day my life changed because the city was very
different from where I came.

First, I did not know anyone just my brother. I could not
go out because I did not know the city either. Second,
I did not know the language of this country. It was very
difficult for me to communicate and express myself.
Third, it was the first time I met people of different
races and cultures. It was somewhat surprising because
before I didn’t have the pleasure to meet people as
well.
Finally, after three days of arriving I got my first job,
and there began a new adventure here in the United
States, away from my beautiful, and beloved Mexico
where I was born.
