ENGLISH] [ESP/ENG]. Emigration and me: my personal experience. Contest #195
I have decided to participate in this initiative because emigration has been my ally and companion in these 15 months of my life.
Many people in the world emigrate, it is a truth as big as the blue of the sea.
I recognize that I never imagined that I would emigrate from my country, but, looking for a better future, helping my family and fulfilling life projects became the causes that made me leave my beloved Cuba.
But, contrary to what you may think, economic improvement is not the only reason why someone decides to emigrate and now I will explain my experience.
When I left Cuba I did it for the reasons explained above. Some of my husband's and my friends had left before and were settled in Uruguay, a country where they had the best living conditions, stable work, income, health care and welfare.
When this situation was explained to us, we decided that this would be our destination and that, in the South American country, we would try to fulfill our dreams.
We lived in Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital, for one year. Everything in our lives was going very well because we were able to help our families, we enjoyed the country and we started to fulfill our life projects. You may wonder why we decided to emigrate.
The answer lies in the climate and its impact on my health, especially the cold weather at various times of the year.
After several proposals we decided that we had to go to live in a country with a warm climate and economic conditions similar or better than those we had in Uruguay.
Now, we are in Mexico, a closer country and with climatic conditions similar to those we have in Cuba and to which my health is better adapted.
As you can see, emigration has many causes and this is one of them.
This is my current experience and I want to say that I consider it normal for people to want to emigrate in search of better living conditions. It is true that the ideal is to live in your country of origin, but, if for various reasons you find it impossible to fulfill your life goals, there is no other choice but to emigrate.

Hola a todas las mujeres guerreras que hacen vida en nuestra comunidad. Ante todo les mando un abrazo y mis buenos deseos de que están bien de salud.
He decidido participar en esta iniciativa porque la emigración ha sido mi aliada y compañera en estos 15 meses de mi vida.
Muchas personas en el mundo emigran, es una verdad tan grande como el azul del mar.
Reconozco que, nunca imaginé que emigraría de mi país, pero, buscando un futuro mejor, ayudar a mi familia y cumplir proyectos de vida se convirtieron en las causas que me hicieron partir de mi Cuba querida.
Pero, contrario a lo que puede pensarse, el mejorar económicamente no es la única causa por la que alguien decide emigrar y ahora les explico mi experiencia.
Cuando salí de Cuba lo hice por las causas antes explicadas. Algunas amistades de mi esposo y mías habían salido con anterioridad y estaban asentados en Uruguay, país en el que tenían las mejores condiciones de vida, trabajo estable, renta, atención a su salud y bienestar.
Al explicarnos esta situación, decidimos que ese sería nuestro destino y que, en el país sudamericano, intentaríamos cumplir nuestros sueños.
Un año vivimos en Montevideo, capital uruguaya. Todo en nuestras vidas iba muy bien porque podíamos ayudar a nuestras familias, disfrutábamos del país y empezábamos a cumplir proyectos de vida. Usted se preguntará por qué decidimos emigrar.
La respuesta está en el clima y su incidencia en mi salud, sobre todo, por el clima frío que hace en varias épocas del año.
Después de varias propuestas hemos decidimos que teníamos que irnos a vivir a un país con clima cálido y condiciones económicas parecidas o mejores que las que teníamos en Uruguay.
Ahora, estamos en México, país más cercano y con condiciones climáticas parecidas a las que tenemos en Cuba y a la que mi salud se adapta mejor.
Como pueden ver, la emigración tiene variadas causas y esta es una de ellas.
Esta es mi experiencia actual y quiero significar que considero normal que las personas quieran emigrar en busca de tener las mejores condiciones de vida. Es cierto que lo ideal es vivir en tu país de origen, pero, si por diversas causas te ves imposibilitada de cumplir tus objetivos de vida, no queda otro remedio que emigrar.

STOPThis is so true.
The one reason I think that most people emigrate is for better living conditions. If anyone can afford to do so, I think that they should. Everyone deserves a good life, be it at home or abroad.
That's true and that's why I made that decision. It is hard, but it is necessary. Thank you for your response.
