Everything turned out better
by Patty Mejia

Well I used to lived in SJL, but  about 3 years  ago  I received news that changed my life in different ways.

I graduated from high school in 2010 and I had done many plans  for me and my future;  first I was going to apply for San Marcos university in that year , I though I would be in Italy spending  the summer with my siblings; my father told us that he would built our house ,in order to get more space and comfort for my family; I was really happy about what was going on in my life ,everything was perfect and it was supposed that everything would come out as I expected .

One day  ,while i was watching tv   ,my dad came to us and told us that he  had decided to accept a job in callao, everybody turned white and I got really angry  because  I  knew  I had to leave my house, neighborhood, friends , etc; finally I did it , I was a teenager so  I depended on my parents.

At first I had many problems to accept this drastic change  , I coped with  the noise of the airplanes, the weather and  the silence of my new neighborhood  cause I used to live  in a noisy and funny neighborhood.

Anyway , it was hard  but everything happens for a reason,  I got used to living here , now I have a good job that I love ,I study English and I enjoy doing this  maybe I didn´t apply for san Marcos but I will attend in san martin university , I had a better and spacious house, I met a lot of people, got new really good friends that became important in my life  , maybe everything  turned  out differently from what I expected, but ,finally I loved this change.
