When I left my country and come to the United States, I had butterflies in my stomach.

When I left my country and come to the United States, I had butterflies in my stomach. It was very hard for me. It was a sad moment when I had to say good-bye to my family and my friends. I didn't want to leave my hometown because I grew up there and I had memories.

I was nervous because I was going to enter a new place with new people and new customs. I couldn't even understand their language. Everything was different. I had nobody to talk with. I just had my husband, and he was a new person for me too.

So, thinking about all these changes made me nervous and I worried about my new life. But that was a decision I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge.
