Everything started when I applied for an English scholarship program called "go teacher", in which I could pass all the given tests and I was able to get it. Once, I got the scholarship. I began to prepare all my documents, in order to have them ready, and not to have any problems with the law in the US.
And, suddenly the day to leave has come. I had to say good bye to my family and start living a great experience in a new and unknown country for me.
After the plane had already taken off from Guayaquil - Ecuador to Miami, I closed my eyes and started thinking about the things I was going to do there. It took me at about four hours to land, and it was incredible to see the quantity of people there were in the airport. it was huge! so so huge! I liked the different things that I saw, I was shocked, I could not believe it. I was in America.
Then, I had to take another plane to go to Dallas, and once again to take another one, to go to Lexington, Kentucky.
I was travelling all day long till finally I arrived to my destination. Lexington was so cold that night. It was winter, and it was the first time of my life that I felt a so horrible cold like that.
But, with the passage of time, I ended up getting accustomed to.
To live in Lexington, Kentucky is amazing. People are so gentle and polite. Everywhere you go, they greet you with a Hi! or an smile from ear to ear. Besides, they are very good people.
Lexington is a great city. It has lots of green areas, great houses and buildings, beautiful parks, incredible bars and restaurants and a lot of more things. It is relaxing to sit on the grass and talk to your friends. Lexington is very clean, and it is the queen city. It means that It's the biggest city of Kentucky's state.
Kentucky is known as the blue grass state, because of the immensity of green areas there are all through the state, and also because of the blue color that characterizes the campus "THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY".
Having Studied at the University was a privilege. There! I made some new folks, and met some VIP.
Having had the opportunity to share the classroom with persons from several countries was the best because I could ask some questions, and I could know more about them. But, that was not enough for me. Every day I wanted to discover more and more, and I wanted to learn more about Lexington, The University, and America.
I also had the opportunity to know New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and Washington. My stay in every one of the cities that I went was unbelievable and unique.
Days in The United States of America, especially in Lexington were really great. I am very grateful to people who gave me a hand. I fell in love with the US, and I hope to go back one day.
