I'm from Valencia a city of Spain, I had never spent more than a month in a foreign country and less out of Europe so for me this was anew experience. The first month in USA was different but not hard for believe, I was feeling like in holidays. After the second month was when I really started assuming that I was going to spend the next 9 months the same way until the moment; before coming I used to live my own life without depending of my parents but when I came all change because at the beginning I didn't know all the streets and my grammar and vocabulary were horrible in case I felt lost. Other thing that changed at the beginning was the early schedule that the American people had, in Spain we started the school the second week of September. The beginning inside the school was weird because I didn't know anyone and during the first weeks I was alone at lunch time but a couple of weeks after started the school I met incredible people that helped me in all my necessities.
Now the "why" of coming was because my mom gave the opportunity of expand my languages and experiences, she work sending people to work abroad Spain and also studying, mainly in USA, Canada or England, so I chose USA. Since I was super little I wanted to came to California, it was my dreamed place, so this was the perfect time to realize how was the live of my city. My friend heard that I was coming so she decided to tell her parents to live the same experience and her parents said yes, so now my friend is in Iowa and we talk weekly and we tell each other the different interesting stories that happen to us daily.
