When I had to move from my last home, I felt sad and at the same time I was hoping that I would have a better situation than I was living in. My past home was nice, but it was becoming difficult for my foster mother and me to get along. She had never had children before and I felt that we did not understand each other. I was grateful for everything she had done for me, but we were at a point where she was not happy with me and I was unable to make things right. That was my first home in this country so it meant a lot to me to have a family.
When I heard about the
possibility of moving with a new family, I was nervous and hopeful that
things would be better. It was not long after meeting with them, I learned that they had experience with teenage girls and the
challenges we bring. They also have an understanding of Asian culture and
language which not only helps our relationship at home, but helps me develop as
a young Asian woman living in this country.
I am thankful of my experience with my first family and will never forget them and what they've done for me, but now I finally feel
like I am home with a family that understands me and my needs. I am very happy to have this opportunity and
look forward to contributing to the family in a positive way.
