And Then I Went To School By Joseph H. Suina
I can't relate to Suina's situation but my mother has told me many stories of herself on her past. Many people living a harsh life many end up leaving their family to have a better future by going to school. Apparently moving to America or learning English will help you live a lavish lifestyle and many people did that and left their family. Suina's life indirectly gets better when he gets treated for lice and starts learning English. Even though he was humiliated for poor English and having lice, it actually benefited him. If I were to have a better life by going to college, I would not risk everything to leave my family. Changing myself would make me unknown to my own family when I finally return from college.

Leaving your family for a whole new lifestyle must be the hardest thing to do. But you also have to look at it in a way such as is it benefiting you for a better life? I don’t think any of us could really understand what its like to leave your family. We are very fortunate to have family always by our side and for me at least only two hours away.
