 I moved to the United States on October 4th, the year 2000. It wasn't the best times in Uruguay, so my parents wanted to have a better life, have more opportunities in the United States. I was only seven years old at the time, so they wanted a better future for me. Funny story, when we moved here, I didn't know we were moving, so they told me afterwards, when we were here, when they told me how to start going to school. So that's when I realized this was my new home. Well, when they told me, obviously, I was seven, so I didn't want to accept it at first because I have all my family back in Uruguay. But I guess once I started going to school and realizing, you know, I was going to school with kids that were on the same boat as me that had just moved here. People spoke Spanish, so the transition was, I made it a little bit better, so that definitely helped when I started going to school and having to adapt to my new life.
