One day about two weeks before summer vacation at the time I was in fifth grade. My mom comes to me younger sister in our bedroom with her looks at us with her bright hazel eyes. She told us something “We are moving girls we got to start packing we are going to be living with your Uncle and aunt for a while”. That wisent the first time she’s said this to us new home new school but for some reason this one scared me a little more. A few days later we began to pack and within a week’s time we were done.

Nobody really likes to move. At least, I know I don’t. We were living with my grandparents in Tashkent when I was in second grade. We moved into our house in Manhattan when I was about 9 years old. Life was going great. I had lots of good friends that I had been around for a lot. I really liked where we were living and I did not want to leave what I had always known.

I planned this trip in November, so I got a plane ticket for December 21 and come back to CO on the 30. My uncle and me had to get up at 4:00 am, so he can take me to the airport to get on the airplane that I had to get on. He help me get my plane ticket then he left. I was in the line to put my bag on the plane, then I went to the plane, but I had to wait in line to get on the plane. After that I got on the plane and sat next to the window. I had to go to Houston, Texas to get on another plane that is going to New Orleans, so my granny and sister can pick me up from the airport.

The trip was completely worth it though, I got to experience a lot in that beautiful trip. I got to see the alluring plants and animals there. We saw ravishing white tigers, vast lions, and other tepid animals such as monkeys and other animals. It was at the zoo and the zoo

As a matter of fact, it was sort of a getaway from the cities. Unfortunately, you had to return home in a few more weeks because you received a call from your dad that mom fell ill and he can’t juggle between the bakery and mom’s illness. You really haven’t told anybody yet, because it so sad to leave. You wished you can stay here, but the family was the priority.

Within the next week everything was done, and everyone had confirmed to come. Now I could actually get the chance to sleep.

Of course everyone was trying to recover from the night before. No one is use to the cost of everything here and also the drinks here. I swear that their liquor here was stronger than the United States. So everyone was taking it pretty easy before the night comes again because of course we were going out. This time we decided to go to a much fancier hotel called 5 Sewor. It was jammed packed with people wearing all black of course. We sat next to two guys that were at the table already. They were super nice and loved to talk. They were telling us all of the best spots to go to. Which they ended up taking us to the best spot there was in Newcastle. This was a legit club. It cost $10 to get in and the bouncer process was crazy. First you give

The truth is, I didn 't want them to leave, and I didn 't want to be away from my family because I had been through my whole life with them by my side. This is the moment where I realized what I society had always thought of the role for men in a family. My mom, saying her goodbyes with tears in her eyes said to me, “Now it is time for you to become a man and prepare yourself for the great challenge of being a father, husband, and providing for your future family.”
