my new life

I was 3 years old, Sao Paulo, Brazil, coming back from a great day at school. I used to love school. Three years old, no home work, only a full day playing with your best friends, with no tests and nothing to get worried about. I also liked Brazil; I always used to think it was the best place in the world, with no problems and that every day was a good day. But it all changed, the time I got home. My mom got a call from my dad, as usual; I would just ignore it and keep doing what I was doing. But this time, it was important.


My mom came in the room with a sad look at her face. I was worried, I thought somebody got injured or DIED or something, but I was wrong. She looked at me, “Danny”, she said, “Were going to live in the Bahamas”. From that point my life changed forever. This meant I had to make new friends, learn a new language, and might mean more work. I felt sick, I never rode on an airplane before, and I almost never left my house. I was going to miss all of this, my life was over, I was done. I’m moving to an island, one that nobody even knows about, this was excrutienting for me.

It was the last day, I said bye to my friends, by to my home, and bye to my whole life. We left a day after my birthday. The airport was amazing. I never saw anything like it. There were planes everywhere, and there were lots of places to eat too. We finally got on, it was like a big straight hallway, filled with chair. But was surprised me the most was that there were even TV’s on the plane. This was the life. When we got there, it was like a paradise. There were beaches on every part of the island, no more 8 hour drive to the nearest beach. And our house was amazing, it was big, and the beach was just like 2 steps away.

I never saw a place like this. At school, I didn’t know how to say a WORD in English. So I pretty much just walked around saying hi to everyone I saw. But as time passed by, I started to understand it more, and i could say new words like, what, where, here, this, that, and so on. I had a blast! I learned a new language, and now I could speak to anyone I see. Also I can also have a better future, because more job’s require English speaking people. And now, I’m not afraid to go to new places, like England, America, Canada, and now, panama! I love this new life, and I never want it change.
