I'm very glad that I can answer this question because I have a beautiful story. When I was 18, I moved to Canada to finish my high school, and it was a very significant change in my routine and my life because I went alone, without my family. I had to live in a different house, so I was living in a house that was not mine. I had to change my habits. For example, in the morning, I didn't have my mom or my parents to help me make breakfast, so I had to do everything on my own, including washing my clothes. I was very lucky because my host family was amazing, and they did a great job with me. We had a really good connection, so I really enjoyed that. The change was not that hard for me, but I had to adjust my habits and understand that I was not living in my own house. The respect we had for each other was different. I also had to speak another language. The first days were hard because I know English, but it is not my mother tongue, so it was difficult at the beginning. Waking up and having to communicate in English was challenging. I had to change this habit in my routine and also understand the habits that my host family had. They were not the same as my parents' habits. I think I did a really good job, and this experience was very important for my personal growth. So, that's my story about how I had to change a lot of my routine habits.
