Just like many of you, I decided to make my monologue regarded my arrival in America too. And since many of you chose to talk about this, I think you may understand that this was a very big thing about me.
Coming to U.S was for sure the most difficult decision that I ever had to make in my life. I mean, studying here was my dream since I was 15, but for someone who never lived away from the family and had everything ready from her parents was certainly hard.
I remember the days when my visa to come here was approved and I should started packing because a week later I had to be at school. I had finally gotten what I always wanted but I wasn’t excited as I had always imagined to be .I kept doubting everything and asking myself for every single day if this is what I really wanted. I guess because I was afraid of all the changes that were about to happen in my life.
Now that I’m here, I ask myself another question: If I ever regret the decision that I made. Of course I don’t. If I would give everything away because of my fear, I would still be in my small city, going in the same places, doing the same things and experiencing nothing new. I don’t regret coming in New York because in such a short time I feel like I have learned many things. Most importantly, I have learned that things are not as easy as they seem when you are alone and you have to do them on your own. But they are also not impossible to do either.
