At the age of 6 I was  put out of my comfort zone
As a six year old this made me extremely timid
It changed me
I was terrified of everything
I was afraid of my own mother who left me at the age of 2
To me she was a stranger
I was afraid of my classmates I never saw so many people that look nothing like me
They spoke differently
They knew games I wasn't familiar with

I used to be extremely outspoken to the point where ironically I was bullied verbally
I would never forget those girls growing up
But yet I was comfortable in my own skin,  I was in love with myself

A year after being in the United States
I learned to love my mom
I know it sounds weird to learn to love your mom
But that's what as seven year old I learn to do when I accepted  the fact my real mother is nothing like the one that raised me...
