Adventurous Journey to New Hopes

My adventurous journey to Chicago is changed most of the things in my life. Being a person with big hopes played big role on my decision, because Chicago was a big potential education benefit for me. Therefore, at first the reason behind my decision is to achieve my major goals. There wasn`t any other way for me than going to Chicago, because my brother was there. Although, leaving my parents behind me was the hardest and most hurtful part of it. However, I had to make changes in my life for my future. I`ve never had experience which I had hard time and good time at the same time.

Leaving my home country was something that I had thought about, so it was exciting for me. I had many goals to achievein my mind. There wasn`t any other way for me than going to Chicago. As soon as I got my student visa in the mail, I purchased my plane ticket to Chicago. I also am learned a lot about Chicago during my last visits.

The moment that I went to the Ataturk Airport was the hardest and slowest. My ticket was a round-trip ticket. I was going to be heading to the London Heathrow Airport then transfer to Chicago O`hair plane. The personnel who helped me with my luggage told me that Heathrow is one of the world`s biggest airport and it`s also can be very confusing. That was exactly what my mom repeatedly reminded me even though I said that there must be airport maps available in every corner.

I felt relieved when I arrived to Chicago, and it was time to go to my school and get involved with other people. I still can`t explain how good I felt when plane`s tires touched the ground. I assumed to get used to people faster, but it wasn`t that easy because of my English. The city wasn`t too complex at all to explore, so it didn`t take my too much time.

Overall, my travel to Chicago was unforgettable. I still remember how happy I was once I get there. It felt longest plane trip ever but it worth. Now, if I were to evaluate my feelings of Chicago, I would say it is still exciting but not as much as it used to be.

Hi Baris and welcome to Using English
:hi:

None of the words have shown up in blue. Could you go back and edit your post so they are bold or colored, or something?
