Project 2 - First Draft

During my lifetime, I have had the chance to live in many countries. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, where I lived for the first eight years of my life. During my time in Venezuela, the situation in Venezuela regarding the economy and safety, was worsening over time. Finally, my parents decide that we were going top move to Panamá, a small country in central america. Panama was much safer and it’s economy was growing steadily, so it looked like a good place to live in. We moved to Panamá and I quickly adapted to the change. It was not too hard because in the end I was still in Latin America. There I lived for the next eight years of my life. At first, we were liking it a lot; in comparison to Venezuela, Panamá was like a first world country. But over time, my parents started seeing problems with Panamá, fraud, corruption, and the problems of a third world country. My parents the decide we had no future in Panamá, so they started looking into the immigration process needed to move to the United States. After tons of paperwork, expenses, and luck, we were granted residency in the United States.

We got to the United States in December 21 of 2015. We arrived at the Fort Lauderdale Airport, and went to our hotel. We didn't even have a house yet. Luckily, one of my uncles, Kay, owned an apartment in Fort Lauderdale, so we stayed there for a while before buying our house. Christmas went by, and New Years as well. We had a great time, and we were looking forward to our new life. However school in the United States started in August, and it was only January. Due to this, we had the idea that we could live in Germany for a few months, before school started. Germany was a good choice because we had family there, so we had people to give us a hand in case of anything. So in the end of February, we left the United States and headed to Germany.

We got to Augsburg, Germany, a place we had never been before. Many things were different. People acted differently, it was more quiet, even the smell was different. And I couldn't understand anything, everything was in German and I had no clue what anything said. We got to the apartment we had rented. It was really nice on the inside and spacious. I was starting to look forward to my stay. I settled in my room, unpacked everything and layed on the bed. It had been a long day. There, i realized there was something missing on my room, a desk. So I look around the apartment to see if I could find like a small table, or maybe even a box I could put my computer on. On the storage room, I found the pieces of a desk. I screwed the pieces together, and i put the desk in the room. I had my desk.
