1. How your life would change if you moved to a country abroad.    Moving out to another country can change completely your life and I Know exactly how because I have been through that a few times. I was born in Spain and moved to Brazil when I was 9, but as soon as I turned 18 I moved back here. First of all, the enviroment completly changes, the culture, the language, the weather, the food, the time zone...there are so many changes. I also lost touch with my childhood friends but beeing a kid was easier to make new ones. Since I moved back to Spain when I got older, I noticed some changes that I did not before.

I dressed to try to impress the teachers and noticed that I didn't actually match with other people's style. And also, because I was wearing long jeans and a shirt I was really hot and got really sweatty walking here.
