It was a normal day to start stressing myself out of overthinking over my life.lately I was uneasy of everything and needed a change of environment my daily devotion during midnight in PSR(a huge rock park) lasted me a peace of mind only for an hour. As usual I cheked my phone if there was anything interesting popping up,cheked my mail and boom! my heart the cultural and language asistant programe which i have applied 3 months back came back to life. I calm myself down I could not believe it so kept it silent however two days after i told my two friends jyoti and leishi only to be screamed at in excitement we went to the embassy to confirm if it was real. My heart was thumping so hard when the guard told us it was real. I learned spanish for 3 years already without any practice of it was as bad as not learning at all.well, I keep my head high to not let myself be defeated of being scared .so, me and 4 other friends one my classmate and the other i never talked to or knew who they were. We landed in the country i have heard of only from the movie pablo escobar nailing the ideas of drug dealers in my mind were welcome not very warmly and not as cold as the weather of the capital city bogota. With my level of spanish it was starting to get hard so i took it as a challenge i speak as much as my other friends who were really fluent at it. After 3 days of being alone they took me to the airport meanwhile my friends were already settling down I was struggling to get my flight to villavicencio ,I was alone ,not enough knowledge of the language i learnt i stand in a line to figure out after 30 minutes that i was standing in a wrong queue.i went to the counter and my heart froze when the attendee told me my flight was ready to leave. I beg her to do something like a fool for i got not enough money for a new ticket,nor do i have the means to communicate with the others my poor phone function only with wifi so the girl helped me connect to the wifi of the airport then i sent an email,watsapp message to the person who sent me off probably an employee of the icetex company He helped me out by the grace of God. I arrived to a totally different climate i felt more at home with the nature however without a place so jenny my present boss left me in a house of a family whom i never met to rest for the day. The next day at breakfast they were kind enough to rent me their room I start settling down little by little. Everyday walk from work to home was a blessing each day because the life around the street was always a new story to ponder upon. The town was reach in nature exactly what i needed however to reach both my destination was a battle with myself . Sometimes i feel like they were irritated of me living there other times i felt like my teachers doesn't take notice of my presence.what i want was to be put at work and to help as much as i can however to be patient and wait was what i have to do which was the hardest of all. At the bright side of difference in culture their way of greeting was a very awkward and newthing for me however it makes me feel loved and accepted when greeted with a happy face not out of obligation. Through all the ups and down i have learnt that though born and raise in different land different climate our sentiments couldn't be differentiate. At the end of the day we are all human surviving to our best some to fulfill their believes, some to be accepted in the society .everyone searching the meaning of their live only to realize that the tiniest moment we share with your love one is the meaning of life.
