I'm so happy!

It's been a long journey! It's been 4 years that I'm in this country. It was hard at first. I had to learn a new language, new culture, new country and find another identity. I still can't believe everything I accomplished in four years. I came here without even a high school diploma, and I got it the first attempt around 3 years ago in a barely spoken language. I will always say thank you to my teachers back home. They taught me English, Spanish and Italian. And I was always wondering what would I do with these languages?  But now I understand the value of learning different languages. I was able to write and read English, but my challenge was to speak it.
Today I know my oral communication is not yet where I would like it to be, but I feel proud of myself to be in college and do well. But I'm more proud today because it's a special day in my life. I became a U.S citizen!! Woo!! I'm so happy. Something that I can check on my list as DONE. I'm so proud to be American today! February 11th 2014. One of those day that I will never forget. I feel more and more confident about tomorrow. No matter the bumps on the road, I keep jumping over them. So bring it on life. All those challenges only make the road harder. But once I reach the destination, the journey looks like a joke!! And I'm happy when I have the last laugh! Thank you God!
