The moment I took flight ... and you, did you try it?

First part
As everyone knows, Venezuela is going through a difficult situation and for the young the future there is uncertain. I made the big, tough decision 1 year and 3 months ago to go out in search of a better future, both for myself and for my family. It was not easy because I am an only child and even more so for my parents accept my decision and let me go. It was a hard month! Between running, looking for resources, selling my belongings in garage sales, the support of my parents and part of my family, all a constant and exhausting planning but which was worth it. Until September 16, 2016 was the date on a paper, which indicated; Name of the passenger, boarding gate, seat number, departure time, arrival time and country to which I was going. Your life is reduced in two suitcases, one of fifty pounds and one of seventeen pounds, I was excited about the trip because it would be the first time I would go to the USA, but on the other hand with my wrinkled heart just thinking about getting away from my parents and not to know the day when I would see them again ...
