Part 02 | Goodbye Mexico, Hello USA!
It was my first time moving out of my home, to a completely different country, with a different language and culture. I had to leave my family, my dog, my friends, and everything I knew behind, but I was willing to take the risk because I knew it was what my heart needed. From this day on I had to divide my heart into 2, one is with me and the other part is still at home, in Oaxaca.
I took a plane and landed in New York City, and one of my favorite memories is when I went to Times square for the first time. I remember standing there singing the song "Empire State of Mind," I was in the "concrete jungle where dreams are made of", feeling so proud and happy to be there. It was an unforgettable experience and I knew it was the beginning of an amazing journey.
I lived in Denver Colorado with a wonderful American family. They brought me in, as another member of them, and they helped me out with everything, I was not completely alone. During that time I immersed myself into the dancing again, and I rediscovered my passion for dancing. I started taking classes with the best teachers in The States. I met amazing people in the dancing industry, I was living my dream! Moving to The States gave me the opportunity to open my mind to new possibilities and to grow as a person. I redefine myself, I became more independent, more confident, and more open-minded. It was an experience that changed my life forever.
