My last day in Colombia

It was on January 25 i was in home with my family preparing a party to be with my family before leave to the united states with my mom and two brothers, some members of my family felt sad others happy because we had the opportunity to come to this country the one must of the people think is the best, but I, my mom and my two brother felt so confuse we dont know if felt happy or sad, nobody knows what we felt, the really think is that I felt sad I dont want to come here I was so happy in Colombia and more because my father who was living in other city went to my city Palmira to live there, he doesn`t know my brother and me will go to other country, but no matter nothing we have to come just for prove or anything but we have to.

The horrible moment of this part of my life was in the airport when my mom, my two brothers and me were ready to stard a new aventure in other country, we arrive to the airport three hours before the time of the flight said, in there were all my family from my mom, all that people with I be the must time of my years, the other part of my family don`t be there how i said before they don`t know about my trip why? I exactly dont know but I think it was because my mom had a problem with my dad, the think she doesnt know was that I felt so bad and the must thing I want is stay there but the life is the life and sometimes you could not change your destiny and more if you just are a child of 14 years old.

Now Im here 17 yeras old not happy not sad but trying to do all well to be the best and give the best to my family who is there and to my father who is waiting for my every year or each time I can go visit him working and studing waiting for my graduation that I hope it will be in january this is one of the most important moments in my life, I just want that happents to be so happy. I dont felt totally good because my father will not be here but I know he is thinking in me and also waiting for that, one of my dreams is be good my father in this country to show him all who Im, and what I do for him and my sisters because now I have two sisters.

Who is your role model

when i was a child I want my dad to be my role model, I like all what he do, i don`t know if be a drive truck was a good job but I like that I saw my father doing this and I enjoy it, must of the time i want to be with him helping he to do his job or when he was repairing the truck I always try to be there, to my mom it doesn`t like she said she don`t want me to do the same sometimes my father has problems with her because He took me in his trips when he went to other city or something like that she said it is dangerous to my but I don`t care, now when I became a little more adult i know that must of the driver trucks do this because they don`t study any carear or they don`t like study or something like that, i know my dad do this because he dont finish high school but Im proud of him because he is working he is doing something by his family, I like the truck I want to have someone someday but i don`t want to be a driver truck because is a hard job and dangerous so now I dont have a role model I just want to be who I want to be not looking to other person.
