The best lesson my mother ever taught me

Parents are our guides during life. They are always willing to help us with good advice an loving words, and they also are our first teachers. With our mom and dad we learn the basics of life in society,in fact, many of our behavior is determinate by our parents behavior. In my case, the best lesson I  learned through my mom was how to be persevering.

My mother was born in a poor family, with no many and depending on the other to get food and clothes. In addition, her family  did not support her studies and use to say things like "studying all time is going to make you crazy", and "study is not important". With all theses conspiring against her was easy to predict that her future was not a bright one, but she simply didn't care about all this and decide to go on, to chase a better life,not only for her,but for her future children.

So she began to study a lot,and started to work. At first was not a good job,but with time she was able to achieve better positions and started to make more money.And today she has a great life,and it is all because she was persevering. And that is the most important lesson that she taught me.

Stretching your positive mind

 Meeting new places such as the National Mall and the National Aquarium, studying in one of the best universities in the US, learning more about new cultures, learning to respect diversity, improving my English, applying for entrepreneur programs, making new friends, discovering more about myself, and eating different foods. All this are the positive things about my time here in America.
My staying here is also helping me to leave my comfort zone because I am in touch with a huge variety of people and cultures,so I have to be open to new experiences, and learn how to accept the differences between me and the other.In addition, here I don't have much worries, everything is arranged and I just have to focus on college and discover new things about myself and about the world.
