My parents!


These are my father and my mother! This picture was taken some days before I came here to Missoula. On this day my whole family was together celebrating my victory about the Humphrey Fellowship Program.
My brother made special food for us and on this day we also celebrated my parents' birthday.
Really, it was an amazing day! It is in my memory and in my heart. I saw and I felt a lot of pride in my parents' eyes and they kept telling me that they were very glad with me.
I understand, because I had many difficulties during my life and my parents know exactly what all these things mean to me. They know, in their way, how important this opportunity is for me and how I dreamed about it.
Now, every time I talk to my parents, they tell me how happy they are.
I've been learning some essential points about family. First of all is about the parents' love and parents' confidence, because they're capable of loving their children unconditionally and giving them a lot of love. The second point is about the distance, because it isn't able to separate family. So, finally, I believe that if you are happy and you are doing something important to you, I'm sure that your parents are also happy.
However, during our lives, we meet some special people who are very important to us, so these people become part of our family!
Here, in Missoula I have a special family: my teachers, my classmates and the coordinators. So, I have many reasons to smile!
