Vanessa Espin

On January 2010, Vanessa received her High school diploma accompanied with amazing friends and wonderful memories. She had been living an unstable life with her family. For some reason they never stayed at one place for long. They would move from town to town or back and forth, from Ecuador to the United States and vise verse. She would always have to leave behind good people and thing she was attached to. Starting all over again always came with a feeling of excitement but also a lonely one. Once again at the age of 17, Vanessa had left New York to move back to Ecuador. Now all this had made her immune to sad goodbyes. She didn’t know how long this would go on? Will she ever finish school? Will she ever find and keep good friends and most important will she ever find herself? In this process she got left behind a year because she was suppose to attempt summer school and lost 7 months because school had already started in Ecuador. The finishing point kept moving further and further. This period of her life was important to her, It not only made her a better person but it was also the first time in a long time that she felt very happy to be close to all the members of her family, she also met her best friends and had a great time in school. Although she had to say goodbye once again, this time she knew it was the right time to leave and this time, she did cry goodbye.
