Thank you for those words. I already have answer for those questions, but I’m going to think about it a lot to see if I could get the right path. I’m a Venezuelan father and teacher, immigrant for the last four years. My wife and I are looking for a new place to live. We dream to live and work in Canada. We want to give our kids the best future we can. And we can work hard for 10 to 15 years knowing that we can reach out family goal over there. Because there are so many things Canada has and we love. Like civil rights, decent payment, healthcare, great education system, family values, a strong democracy, and snow and maple syrup among others. I’m fifty years old. I faced cancer 15 years ago and so I lost a kidney. I haven’t get a regular medical check here in Peru for the last 4years. My public insurance healthcare system “essalud” Isa burocratic institution with no choices for people like me. They say I have to be sick and purple to do a regular check. Besides that I have a job as a teacher. I love to teach, I love to help students, I love to answer their questions, I love team work and team goals, I love to plan great class activities and keep my students motivated. I thank God for that job at Pamer school, but in the other hand that job only allow me to full fill my family needs at the moment with no chance to save or plan a future like I want to by a house I can’t do it. We can’t go out to a fancy restaurant or to the movies. We can’t go out for vacation. My wife works in a hotel near by. She doesn’t have social security. She doesn’t have a normal minimum rate salary. She works from Tuesday to Sunday. But we are happy and we thank the Lord for it because we are alive and we are fighting and facing the circumstances the best we can. Besides the hot weather, we love the snow. We are from San Cristobal, Venezuela a city in the mountains. We have a lot of things there but we can’t come back. I would love to live and work in Canada as a Spanish teacher because I’m sure that if we work hard there at least ten years we can buy a house in Venezuela when the dictatorship is over. And we can leave our two kids Victor and Martin in Canada with a great future, maybe great college students, great mountain soldiers, maybe great soccer players, maybe great musicians, but for sure great citizens. And me and my wife will live our last years in a small house In San Cristobal with a lot of friends. It seems a dream. As a teacher I always dream for the best for me for my kids and for my students.

Thanks Lea,
For sharing your experience.I totally agree asking the right questions are so empowering.
We so often go through life without taking time out to question: why we think, feel, see or do things. When we do stop and ask ourselves questions that can help us honestly review our feelings, behaviour and actions, then we can move on in the right direction.

I just try to figure out if I’m doing the right thing for myself. If I’m not happy, I ask why and what would please me, then go from there.

You list some really good questions. Asking yourself the right questions is a really good way to sort things out and find solutions.
