Growing After Being A New Citizen

Even though I have been almost 13 years living in the USA, I am still learning many new things--like a person who is aged almost 13 years old that still needs to learn a lot things. I consider my age of 13 years old of becoming a resident in the USA. I love learning so I can grow. So what I have been learning? OK, let me write a long list below:

- learning to so speak English in my daily activities;

- becoming a wife to an American;

- becoming a mother to my baby and my three grown up kids (teenagers at that time);

- becoming a cook lover;

- becoming active using internet to browse many interesting stuffs;

- learning to write after almost 20 years absent;

- learning to blogging using my second language;

- learning to be a self-published author;

- learning to know the school system by following the school activities of my youngest daughter;

- learning about American Girl Scouts systems and activities which my youngest daughter joins in;

- learning how to garden and grow flowers, fruits and vegetables in the country who has four different seasons;

- learning to apply jobs;

- learning how to interact with many type of Americans;

- learning how to socialize with my husband's big family;

- learning how to socialize with others;

- learning to volunteer at elementary school by teaching students reading;

- learning the new skills by taking some courses in the different fields: crafting in English writing, entrepreneurship, marketing, administrative assistance and federal taxes;

- learning many new systems from paying bills, health insurance, purchasing online, etc.;

- learning to handle many new challenging things happened in family circumstances that mostly drive me crazy;

- and many other things.

Believe or not, I still need to learn many things. Learning is awesome even though sometimes it makes my nerves become tense; drains my energy, time, thought, and money (hahaha).

Becoming a new citizen is the right decision. My family is here. My soul is here. So, here I am with lot of hopes, goals and dreams.

So what I have done after being a new citizen? For this answer, I don't have a long list but I have been satisfied for taking two big steps: protecting my family by having life insurance and building the stronger financial by having an investment.

And what will I plan to do next? For this answer, I still don't have a long list either, but several things I am sure to do soon is continuing my tax school (Intermediate level) this summer and becoming a volunteer in the community. (What I really enjoy my life--good and bad) ***
