We are all from America therefore we deserve an education. I decided
to talk about a big change that I had in my other school when I was in my country; I lowered my grades a lot because I was very confused and stressed. In my country the teachers do not have patience and they did not understand I was going through a very difficult situation. That stressed me out more, but when I got here everything was a big change. I realized that it was different here in America, the teachers are patient and explain well, and here I was able to recover my grades.

The schools in my country are very different from the schools here. For example, in my country if we have to work on paper we have to pay money so
that the teachers can give us the work or an exam. I also only received 4 and
a half hours of classes in the afternoon, for me it was too little time because
I felt that I needed to learn and practice more. In addition, there was very
little time to learn about 11 subjects in the grade, and the state of the school
was in poor condition. Regarding “recess” time, that's what we call lunch time here, well when it was time to go out to eat, if you didn't have money
to buy at the store you didn’t eat. If I were there I would not have been able
to enter university one day, because it’s very expensive. I also felt that when the COVID 19 pandemic was going on we did not learn well since the teachers only sent us homework by message without explaining anything, after that I only went 3 days a week to study, it was not enough time. Here it is different and I really like it because everything is very adaptable. It is a great opportunity that we have, if we know how to take advantage of it by focusing on our studies, we will be able to achieve our goals here.

After the whole process I was finally able to get here and get better opportu-
nities but first I have to work so hard to achieve my goals and objectives in mind. It is very important to continue school after that to start studying at
university. In this country there are more opportunities to be able to study
at the university.

I decided to talk about a change that you can have by focusing and practic ing a lot every day. It is very important to try hard in school, then continue your studies and choose a career that is important for your future. In some
countries there are not many opportunities for young people who would
like to study because unfortunately that is the structure of governments in
our countries. They do not support youth, which is why many young people
decide to move to another country to obtain the opportunity to study.
