being heard about United states was always exciting. Seing it in movies, pictures gave me the hope, but i didn't know too much about tourist attraction. The land of opportunity, when i was growing up i believe it was like a place were life is like living in paradise .By thinking that getting money was easy for my parents i do harm to them. I remember myself calling them lying about stuff to them just to have money sometime , they said " we dont have money Rony " deep inside me i was like, please! no excuses. Well, the time has come for me to come to the land of opportunity i was so excited ,i gave my clothes to my freinds and some utilities ,thinking that i was going to have new stuff ,things were going to be better . Sometime the silver lining is really supprising . On november 12th was the day of deliverance. 12:00PM we landed at JFK airport i got out of the plane it was beautiful ,intriguing. My father came to pick us up ,driving to the express way but i could'nt say nothing, excitement was tearing me apart i was speechless. They were going to brooklyn by jackie Robinson the cemetery was like woaw! still can say nothing. When we got to grandville pennsilvania ave i finally say something ," where we are going?" i said to myself "they might have made a wrong turn." They arrived to new lots and stop "we home" i still couldnt beleive it. A Three bedrooms apartment for six people. I was speechless for the real reason now. Thinking about those lie that i created to get money out of those poor people by thinking thatthey were rich was the real deal though.
Insight into reality of life have thought me the lesson that there's mesery everywhere in this world but some are progressive ,some are hopeless. reality has knocked on my ignoring door so hard and dropped me the mail of despair from Haiti again. i woke up and said to myself " yes it is the land of opportunity , with hard work everything is possible because there's nothing free an America"
