What if? Camila Carrozza

What if.....

Sometimes I wonder what would be of me if my parents hadn´t known each other, or If my grandmothers wouldn´t have been pregnant. I imagine a completely different life and I ask myself if it would have been better. My answer unfortunately cannot be exact, I am just able to get into my mind and develop my ideas by wondering anything that could have been changed. So there is where I get to, after thinking for hours I concluded with a real story that hit my parent’s life.

My parents, Diego and Alejandra had lived In Palermo, Buenos Aires all their lives until they got married in 1997.  In the same year, my mother received a work proposal in Australia for 6 months. As my parents guaranteed that it would be successful, my mother accepted the offer. After they completed the 6 months, the empress renewed the contract for one more year. They lived happily in Australia for about 2 years, yet they missed their families and friends so much that they came back to Argentina. What would have happened if they had stayed in Australia forever?

If my parents had thought that life in Australia would have been awesome, I would have known much better English so writings would have been easier, and Literature would have been simpler to comprehend. In addition, I wouldn´t have known all my friends, I would have been accustomed to another culture, therefore I would have celebrated my sixteens with a grandiose party instead of my fifteens, I would have eaten earlier at about six o´clock, and maybe I would have practiced another sport instead of hockey.

In conclusion, I can say that I really would have loved to speak English more fluently and to have a prom party.  Moreover it would have been a beautiful experience to know the Australia´s flora and fauna, like kangaroos, koalas and bluebells. However, I´m pleased in my country since I have met all my friends, who are supporting and helping me anytime. Furthermore I have my family living in Argentina as well, and I always have fun with them, especially with my cousins. As a whole, I think I would like to live in both countries at the same time.
