A positive change that happened to me last year was relocating to a new country, Australia. I’ve been dreaming of moving to Australia since I was a child, because I’ve always heard about the beauty of that place and the job opportunities that they offer there. The first reason why I moved to this country is because I work as an architect and in my home country there aren’t many job opportunities for this profession. So I was able to get a job as soon as I landed on or in the country. The second reason is that Australia is safe and my country had been suffering from war for the last 14 years before I moved. So I had an unstable life, full of turd and bad things around me. So the main thing that changed is the environment around me, the surroundings. I was able to feel more safe in this new country and I was able to work in a safe and welcoming environment at my current job. I think that this change offered me a better life in general for me and my family. Now I feel that I can raise my children in a safe environment, schools, with them having a proper education.

A positive change that happened to me last year was relocating to a new country, Australia. I've been dreaming of moving to Australia since I was a child because I've always heard about the beauty of that place and the job opportunities they offer. The first reason I moved to this country is that I work as an architect, and in my home country, there aren't many job opportunities for this profession. I was able to get a job as soon as I landed in the country. The second reason is that Australia is safe, and my country had been suffering from war for the last 14 years before I moved. I had an unstable life, full of fear and bad things around me. The main thing that changed is the environment around me, the surroundings. I was able to feel safer in this new country, and I was able to work in a safe and welcoming environment at my current job. I think this change offered me a better life in general for me and my family. Now I feel that I can raise my children in a safe environment, with schools that provide them with a proper education.
