About me

I came to Australia in August 2001 and started my life here as an English student at City central College in Sydney. It was very hard in the beginning for so many reasons. First because I was alone, with no family and no friends, secondly because I quit my job in my country as a lawyer to try some sort of different lifestyle that I didn't even know what it was all about. I didn't know what I was looking for! I just wanted to make changes in my life. I wanted to faced my fears, and that was a big thing. It wasn't a simple adventure like most young people do, like going overseas, learning the language, partying, and gettting involved with all aspects that this kind of experience can bring to someone.

For me, it was like facing that fact that I was alone, that I didn't speak the language, didn't have a job or any way of earning an income. Another thing was that I didn't have my family with me so it was the scariest feeling that I ever had!

Despite all of these feelings and fears, I had the joy of complete freedom that I can't explain! And I wanted to test myself and discover my inner strength.

Many things happened and now after 9 years I am facing different issues, like: what sort of new qualification I want to get in order to have a new working experience, and now that I have children, will I stay in Australia indefinitely or will I go back to my country? Over there I have family and friends that can help me start again, or will I continue to live in Australia which is a safer place for my children. Here, they can have a better quality of life. I don't know the answer yet. What I really know is that I want to make the most of it, studying and enjoying the Australian lifestyle with my children.
