Like every child, playing around and being happy was at the top of my "to do" list. At ten I was brought to the United States by my mother. In the process I lost my family, my happy and almost perfect life and my friends back in my country. When I left the Dominican Republic I lost the only paternal figure I had, my grandfather. Once I lost him I became little aggressive because I didn’t feel the protection that he always provided to me. The change of countries was a big emotional shock that changed my personality almost 100%.
