Living in Ecuador and having an amazing life. I had a family, friends, and loved ones around me. What could go wrong? 
Suddenly, one day something happened, something that completely turned my life around. ]]> 2022-12-06 02:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410021932 dorischalco87 https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410033471 2022-12-06 02:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410033471 dorischalco87 https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410046080 I asked, "What's wrong mom?" "Why are you crying?"
She replied, "my love, I found a job in a city that is far away from here. I have to take the bus and go there. You will stay with your aunt, I will be back soon. I love you"

Being a 5 year old I didn't understand what was going on, all I knew was my mom is going to work somewhere for a few weeks, but she will be back. ]]> 2022-12-06 02:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410046080 dorischalco87 https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410052139 2022-12-06 02:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410052139 dorischalco87 https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410059982 The years went on, I grew up with my cousin (the one in the middle) and my aunt. Although, I wasn't with my mom she never stopped calling me everyday. Sometimes I would even be annoyed because she left and I didn't want to talk to her. Then, one day she asked me if I would like to come to the United States. I was so happy thinking about how I could finally be with my mom. ]]> 2022-12-06 02:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410059982 dorischalco87 https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410070588 2022-12-06 03:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410070588 dorischalco87 https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410079126 I came to the United States when I was 12 years old. I was finally able to see my mom after 7 years of being away from each other. It was the happiest day of my life, and I will never stop thanking her for all she had to go through in order to help me be the person I am today. ]]> 2022-12-06 03:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dorischalco87/eu2whvlv41xd3pl8/wish/2410079126
