Imagine this; being a nine year old boy growing up in Italy, just starting out, in school, making new friends. Has a good back round lives in a good house hold, families is normal everything's going great. Until you get word that you need to pick up all your belonging, basically change your whole life style and will be removed from where you live and placed in a foreign land. Away from everything you have grown accustom to, even the little things like playing soccer with friends at the park. Hanging out with friends and family all snatched away in the blink of an eye. Not knowing how to speak a word of English, leaving behind family and friends, entering a world of uncertainty. What would you do? .
That foreign land is America and that nine year boy is Guy. This essay will talk about guy's struggles that he went trough on the most important day of his life. Just think, being a nine year old boy in a whole new world. Well that's the reality Guy was faced with. "Losing my friends was the hardest part for me" Guy says. Losing your friends that you've know all your life must be hard on anybody but especially hard when you are nine years old. It's almost like you are confused and don't understand why things are happing. Guy says "it hurt for me to go through this at such an early age ". Before guy got here he couldn't speak a work of English but with persistence to learn and make new friends also try and move on but always keeping in the back of his mind his friends and family back home.
Also another big factor is his family guy says he was very close to his family and was so used to spending time with them on the holidays or just going over for Sunday dinner. It hurts bad guy says even till this day when I think back about it, it upsets me. But those were just some of the struggle he had to work through. .
I mean finding friends couldn't be too easy when you don't know a word of English. Guy's willingness to move on helped him learn the English language in four months.
