"My mom and dad have always liked to travel. When I was a kid, they brought our family from Venezuela up to Disney World several times on vacation. It was a friendly, touristy place, and we loved it. Eventually, we all decided to move to the United States. I've been in this country for 5 years now. It's good to be exposed to different cultures. When you know many countries, your mind just broadens. It grows, and that's a good thing. Everything is different here than in Venezuela: the clothes, the food, the music, everything. One thing I've had to do is to learn English. I studied the basics in high school, but that's all I knew. Since I moved here, I've used Rosetta Stone, taken language courses, watched American TV, and talked to people. I don't think my English is that good yet, but I'm learning all the time."
