Why I left
At my very early age me and my two brothers are always on our own. Struggling financially and doing odd jobs just to make ends met. And that is one of the motivations why I left Cebu and come to Canada for a better life.
The Decision
There was a saying that “there’s no place like home” and it is very true. I’ve spent half of my life in Cebu Philippines. My beloved family, friends and everything that I considered life. But if I stay in Cebu nothing will happen in my life. I always live in the life of struggle just to make ends met. This way even if I worked odd jobs in Canada I can still help my parents and my 2 brothers. I missed everyone that I left and that is the price to pay. But looking ahead my life and my family will not be the same again.
First Day In Toronto
It was in August 15, 2005 when I landed in Toronto Canada. It was summer nice sunny day. My first time to saw a fully diverse city. People from every different parts of the world in the City of Toronto. I’ve never seen such before because the City where I came from is just small and mainly Cebuano. Although, I saw some expats back home but not as much as Toronto.
