Sorry

I am from Pinar Del Rio, Cuba and I came to this country when I was 9 years old. Trust me when I say that I was very excited to finally be able to experience and see a whole new country. When I finally arrived I was so nervous because I was going to finally be able to see new things and why everyone wanted to come here. I was extremely shocked when I arrived to see how beautiful everything was and how different everything looked. I loved everything about the United States. Since I was little when I moved here I didn’t really think about the negative things about moving out like leaving my friends behind or even my family. I didn’t feel any type of way when I was  told we were leaving, the only thing I really wanted to do was leave. Don’t get me wrong I still miss my country but I was only a little kid so I don’t have many memories there. I’ve been here for 7 years already and I love it. When I first moved I stayed in Miami, Florida and it was the best. I didn’t really mind the language barrier because in Miami everyone speaks spanish and english isn’t really spoken. When I moved to Miami I was nervous because I had to start school only two months after arriving. It was a bigger school than what I was used to and I knew nobody. After a couple of months I started warming up more to the people and started making friends. After a couple of years of living in Miami my mom had decided that she wanted to move. I wasn’t really looking forward to that because I had my life set in Miami already. I understood that she wanted to be closer to my father and my little sisters but I still didn’t want to leave and have to start over again. A couple of months after we moved to a place called Cape Coral. It’s a small city close to Naples. I was so sad that I had moved away from the place that took me so long to get used to. I had to start over again. I had to go to a different school and start making friends again. The first couple of months I felt alone because I didn’t know anybody here or even know the place. After a while I started making friends but there are still times that I feel lonely. I miss all my friends back in Miami, I miss being able to go out with them everywhere and just being with them in general. Here in Cape Coral there really isn’t much to do or places to even go to. Now after finally being in Cape for a whole year things are turning around for me, I’ve made new friends and I have a lovely girlfriend. Looking back now I do miss all my friends and family in Cuba. I miss running up and down the street with my friends, playing soccer with them, and even going to big chaotic family parties.
