I remember it as it was yesterday. We moved last year from Adbasar to Astana. We did it because of our financial and family status. Also our sister was studying in University of Astana so it would be convenient for everyone to move to the city. I felt at first not so happy about it. I really missed my old home but overall now I feel that that was the right choice because there is a lot of possibility and Astana is much huge, much bigger than Adbasar. As I said my sister is also studying there so I can always visit her and we can go walk and just talk with each other. I really appreciate that now I can have a personal time because in my old house there was no room for me. I always slept with my sister or my mother but now I have my own room which is really exciting and I can have a personal space so it is a good news. But overall I would say that moving from old place to new can be really stressful but you should always remember that human can really adapt to anything. I like my new home but I still miss a little bit my old home. That’s not a reason to be upset and blue about it.

I remember it as if it were yesterday. We moved last year from Adbasar to Astana. We did it because of our financial and family situation. Also, our sister was studying at the University of Astana, so it would be convenient for everyone to move to the city. At first, I was not very happy about it. I really missed my old home, but overall now I feel that it was the right choice because there are a lot of opportunities, and Astana is much larger than Adbasar. As I mentioned, my sister is also studying there, so I can always visit her, and we can walk and talk with each other. I really appreciate that now I can have personal time because in my old house there was no room for me. I always slept with my sister or my mother, but now I have my own room, which is really exciting, and I can have personal space, so it is good news. Overall, I would say that moving from an old place to a new one can be really stressful, but you should always remember that humans can really adapt to anything. I like my new home, but I still miss my old home a little bit. That's not a reason to be upset or blue about it.
