Martha's Experience

Martha's experience

I came to United States 16 years ago, my first year living here was very hard and sad. I was very frustrated because of English a different culture,and no friends. Also the people I used to live with were older than me. But the words part was I had never traveled before. My first 3 to 6 months I cried almost every day. I was missing very badly my mom and all my family. I didn't anything those first months.

But I started looking for job and I toughed it would be a problem because of the Lang barrier, so I decided taking care kids was probably easiest plus I can learn English.And at work I was taking care 2 kids a girl and a boy his name is Brent and her name is Lindsay I took care them for about 6 years. Also I was live in a housekeeper 5 days a week.

So that became pretty much my family. They made fell that way.
After 6 years my progress was very obviously; my English was way better and my life was 100% different.
I was still missing my family but fell more comfortable about it. I MET a lot friends and also I met my husband. The kids grew up and my job of taking care of them was pretty much done, their parents wanted me keep working for them but I decided with my husband to make a big change, to get married and move to an other state.
It was so hard for me to make that decision. I had fallen in love with my kids.
I felt that way. But we moved out. I still keep in touch with them till today.
Now I have my own family. I have very nice and wonderful husband. Looking back I think all the difficult past was for a good reason for my self. Now I am studing ESL at Renton Community College. I am very happy with the type of life I have right now. My life is 100% different than 16 years ago. Also I am so proud with my teacher and all my class mattes. She is very good teacher, thanks Liz for all your help....
