An important year in my life

2012 was an important year in my life because there were changes in all of my life.

First of all, I lost my dad in January and one month later I moved to my grandmother's in Russia. There, I started to work as a waiter because I had a dream to save as much money as I could to go to Europe. Because I worked at an American restaurant and we had a lot of foreign clients I began to study English.

Some time later, my dream came true. I had saved enough money to move to Belgium.

I immediately started to study at secondary school without speaking Dutch at all. I wanted to speak Dutch as soon as possible. Therefore, I stopped chating and emailing in Russian. I did it all in Dutch, so, after a few months, I already spoke Dutch very well - A guess so :-)

This year was also the first year in my life when I celebrated New Year without any members of my family.

It was the most difficult year in my life. It totally changed not only my vision on life, but all my life.

I will be very happy to receive a small composition about an important year in your life.
