In my life I have done different things, but the one I frame was when I came to Mexico to study. It was a difficult decision, because it was separated from my family, my parents, my friends, my country; but after three years of living in this beautiful country, I realize that life has given me sufficient maturity to handle different situations, I became independent, more economical, more sincere, and above all I approached him that no matter where this, always by my side, I approached God.
I miss my family, food obviously, but know new countries opens the mind much more, teaches us to experience new things, meet new people, and know ourselves.
So I think one of the most important days of my life was when I decided to come to me live in Mexico, but it was not a wrong decision, maybe it's the right one I ever made.
