Some Thoughts from Ruls

Ruls is a Mexican student in our class. He recently wrote this in his journal and said we could post it. Gracias, Ruls!

Well I'm so excited to be here. I want to share why I'm in Canada. I think that Canada is a pretty place for a vacation or to live, but the most important thing for me is to learn English. Now I can say that Canada is a place where you can learn about different cultures. But the most important thing is that you can make new friends from all over the world.

It has been very hard for me to be in Canada because I left my family in Mexico last year, and never before have I lived apart from my family. Now I am without them in another country but in contact with them. I feel that I'm more mature than before, as before I never made a decision without them.

When I finished my university I decided to come to Canada because sometimes it is really hard to get a job if you don't speak English. When I decided that, it was the first important decision that I made in my life, because all the other times my parents were behind me. They are still, but now I can decide what is the right way, and sometimes it is difficult choose the right way. ***R u L s***
