Ain't nobody bringing me down

Only a another full moon keeps me away from my first year living in this country. In this time have seen and learn so many things already in this short time. In the following lines I am pretty sure I am going to offend some people that I know, just want to say this is nothing personal, only business.

I arrived here and the first thing I did was setting up the bed were I was going to sleep. It is strange to see your new home and your new barrio. After doing the bed I was teach how to use the shower, and many other basic things. Like the one with the air conditioner that has to be off under no exceptions.

I went out of the airport at 3:30pm and had to be in downtown at 6:30 I think. In the main time I did all the stuff already described in the last paragraph. It happened all so fast, without noticing I was in the bus for the first time in this country. Then I was in the metro mover for the first time in my life. And shortly after I entered the Miami Dade College for the first time ever.

I remember hearing Dr. Hallowey talking to the crowd gathered, I hardly understood half of it. My dad pick up my brother and me from there and the at last the longest day of my life was finished. I woke up in my soft bed in Lima and in the same night I am sleeping in a bed in the US. Ready to face what the world has to show me here.

I've come to this country not to follow what this world wants me to follow. I have come to this country not to obey this system. I have come to this country to show to my surroundings that impossible is nothing. All my past life is finding its ultimate point with this new journey. As my mentor said: "you are survivor my son, I know you'll do fine anywhere in this world." But something different gives me a motor in this new journey.

I know God is with me, he is right at my side watching me writing this post. God and all the people I have met in Peru at least once support in this new adventure. All the sacrifice of the people in my family before me back me up. The promise of God to guide on my succeed in this country is far enough to be sure of me in this project.

So let everything come! It does not matter if I have to saty in the library unitl late, it does not matter if I have to go by bus. It does not matter if all the classes are in english. It does not matter if I still do not know to express myself well in this language. It does not matter if
the scholarships foundations do not accept me because I am an international student.

It does not matter if an old man tell me that I write like shit, or if he wants to know about me even though I do not want to tell him anything. I will still go on with my path and continue con la frente en alto. Anyone can come and critizime me, no matter how much others try I just simply will not surrender. There is not insult nor criticism that I have not been told before.

It does not matter if an old woman tell me that I can not travel to salzburg because of my current status or if a group of old man who sits in a thing call senate does not approve true justice for my latinoamericans compadres. I do not care if this country and its system does not accept someone who does not believe the same things its people do. This country will never americarizarme. It can try but it will not succeed.

This whole country can turn against me and still I will not fall. This world and all its problems fits in the palm of my hand. The time will soon come when I will be able to crush it.
