Because I just got home from a party with this certain family, I will devote today's blog post to them:) The past two years (approximately), I feel as though I have grown in many ways (not physically unfortunately). A lot of this growth is thanks to my newfound second family. My boyfriend's family. I find that in order to truly learn something new, you have to be motivated. For example, if you live in the middle of a desert, you aren't going to be very motivated to learn how to swim. But if you live in the ocean, there is a much greater need. That being said, I was motivated to learn new things when I was welcomed into a household which is very very different from my own. I found that there were several skills that I needed to learn in order to be a part of something that I love. This was my motivation. Although I still find that I do not always fit in, I have made myself push my comfort zone and see the world from a new perspective. One step in this direction was to learn the language. I improved my Spanish to the point of being certified as "multilingual". Although the only thing the test really verified was my ability to have a 5 minute interview in which I did not let the interviewer ask me a single question. Let's just say my Spanish speaking skills are much better than my listening skills. Although I do not consider consider myself to be fluent in Spanish yet, I feel as though I am on my way. I also learned how to hold a baby, no small feat let me tell you (yes small feet though)! Finally, I have at least attempted to improve my cooking. I will not go into more detail on this because I'm sure you already know my relationship with the kitchen at this point. All in all, I am happy because I have found that I am able to grow and learn and become a more well rounded version of myself. Seeing life from the perspectives of different families has opened my eyes in some ways and for that I will always be grateful.
