Sara's Story

Me and my mom have migrated to the US only 2 years ago and we are still getting used to the language, the people, the culture and other things that come with migrating. We are from Colombia. The culture and the people there are very different and sometimes I wish I could go back to Colombia, my dad and his part of the family are there and I miss them a lot. Learning the culture in this country is hard since a lot of cultures contribute to it’s own and shape it. The weather is different from our usual tropical year round weather. It was very hard to fit in, we live in a small town and there is not many immigrants making it hard to communicate at the beginning with the different language. Now I have learned English and have friends I fit with. I still miss my country but I like it here.
