A new Immigrant in 2001
I was confused because I felt incompetent speaking fluent my native language(my friends making funny me, because they believed I try impressed them)to my family and friends. I do not know why, but it just didn’t feel right to speak Spanish anymore. I was really uncomfortable those 10 days in my country , because I was forced to speak Spanish, and I feel that my relatives and friends, did not accept me, if I did not speak Castellano. also I found difficulty in my own culture, when my parents didn’t agree with my look, different clothe style, hairstyle ,the portion size of food, my new way to drive in the city, they never use the secure belt or buckle around the body, no body follow the rules, its simple disbelieve. They made funny comments about my new American appearance, to make me feel uncomfortable. Well this was my impression at first. For example my mother told me ”Stop wearing those luxuriant clothes and talk like use to do before, other way, you look so funny. Furthermore my best friends went to drink until they loss the conscience, like before use to do. I toll them that now I am a new person with better behavior. No more I drove with alcohol in my body, because now I love my self.
