Familia

So, picture this…You’re a college graduate with a good job, living on your own, making good money, and basically hating life. You then quit your job with no other in sight, tell your parents and friends that you have decided to pack up your entire life and move across the world, and then leave. How many people’s parents would have freaked out? I bet that many people thought I was just joking that I was going to come here to Spain, but not my family. My parents have been behind me my entire life and this time was no different. One day I was thinking about buying a car and looking at bigger apartments and the next all of my things were boxed up in my rents’ basement and I was flying to BCN to start another NEW life. When I told my mom that I was quitting IU it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and she stood behind me. Telling her I quit my first “real job” was the second hardest thing because I thought she would be disappointed (maybe she was but she never let it show). Dad and Lulu were there the entire time too. The day I quit IU grandma came through with a UC charm that she got when she went to UC for graduate school (I never knew till after I got it) and dad bought Bearcat gear and gave the IU shit away. Living here in Spain has taught me a lot so far and I know I will only learn more in the coming months, but one thing I’ve definitely learned is that I couldn’t ask for a better family! My poor family has had to live with my eccentric life choices, my ever changing mind, my inability to stay in one place too long! I just want to give a shot out to the people who mean the most and don’t get the recognition or thanks that they should; my family.
