We all endure hard times in life, and whether it is a positive or negative outcome, these times change our route in life. But sometimes, we come across someone who changes our lives for the better. They lift you up from the lowest points in your life, and point you in the right direction. If we never ran into these people that alter our lives, our lives would be very different today. Everybody has someone who has impacted their life in some sort of way, for better or worse. For some people, this person may be a parent, family member, or friend
Life is about making choices, but some of them can even change our life. Six years ago my family decided to come to Canada to have better opportunities. This significant decision that my family had made changed everything about me and my life. That was a tough decision to make. It means I had to leave my homeland, friends and go to a far-away place. I also had to adjust to the alien environment. Arriving in a new country was exciting and discomforting. Canada is a wonderful place to live, which is full of adventure and challenge. Meanwhile, I was also troubled by a different language. Because we had come from Kyrgyzstan I had only been taught one or two English lessons a week and they were very weak and my English listening and oral abilities tend not to be adequate. Although I began to learn English in elementary school, I had to study hard to improve my English, so that I can understand what the people were saying.
Since I came to Canada, I made great progress not only learning a foreign language but also adaptive capacity. In the past six years, I learned a lot here. This experience not only broadens my view but also enriches my life. It changed my life for good. I will try my best to do everything well, in order not to regretful in the following years. Life itself is a dark and twisted thing. It seems to make many twists and turns that eventually make out a bag of happenings. All of these circumstances make you a wiser person as these events go on. Many people can say one single event that has changed their life forever. Sometimes, some memories become unforgettable which teach you a lesson that becomes the guideline for your life.
