No one said life would be easy, and it is something that I have really present right now. We all have experienced difficult situations and it is fine because they make us stronger and more intelligent to face life. I couldn’t live in a world with everything quiet, relaxed and scheduled, difficult situations are also a way to bring fun and adventure to life, but we all know that these circumstances are really hard and require a lot of effort from us to overcome them and get ahead in life.
Probably the
most difficult situation I’ve been through, I am experiencing it right now.
Everything started like four months ago when I decided that I wanted to study
communication but there was a problem, in my city (Los Mochis) there are no good
universities, so I decided to start looking for good universities in other
cities. After a deep research I found the ideal university for me, once again
there was another problem, this university was 1,425.9 km from my city. That is
15 hours and 40 minutes by car or 2 hours and 20 minutes by plane! It probably
could sound not terrible but considering that Los Mochis is not a big city,
there are not flights every day or every hour, so it would be difficult to travel often to my hometown to visit my
family.
I realized
that I had to study and as my parents always say me, we have to make sacrifices
for a reward, so I decided that I was going to study at Anahuac University in
Mexico city.
Then, two
months ago I had to move from my hometown to Mexico City, at the beginning I
was very excited; new house, new city, new friends and new school, everything was
perfect, even the weather was better than in Los Mochis, but then the real
problem appeared. As time was passing I realized that I didn’t have my family
or friends with me, I wasn’t in my home, I had nobody to clean everything I
mess, there was no delicious food, I didn’t have my big bed with me and my TV, I
didn’t have my loved pet or no one to talk after I arrived from school, I had
nothing to do in my weekends and that’s something I haven’t experienced for a
long time.
I started to
felt very sad, I didn’t want to tell my parents because I didn’t want to make
them feel worried for me, I never thought that I would miss that much my family, friends or even my
city. I've always been very firm in my decisions, I always achieve what I propose
myself. So decided to change my
way of thinking and seeing this situation and I started to make new friends, go
to some places and even I started to enjoy my experiments in cooking. Of course
I still miss my family because I love them so much and I’ve been with them all
my life but now I’m calm because I know I can call them whenever I want or even
go to my city whenever I want.
I don’t feel alone anymore, now I have
friends and I’m starting to know the city, I suppose there are many people who
have gone through the same situation and we all know that at the beginning it is
really difficult because it’s a big change but with the time you will be able
to feel better and love your new life. Now I can say that I’ve overcome this
situation, have you ever been through something similar? Have you ever missed
someone or something? Did you overcome it? How? What did you do to feel
yourself better?
