Male Female

I've made an important decision, which was to emigrate to Australia. Since there is a war going on in my country right now, we don't have good job opportunities or the basic services that any human might need. This is why I seek a better life by emigrating to a better country, which is Australia in my case. I first started thinking about this trip two years ago, but one year ago I started going through the process and preparing for my English exams in order to get the visa. The person who encouraged me to take this trip is my husband, who is going with me. I believe that since I work as an architect, I don't have a decent salary in my country because many people work as architects without having proper degrees, which has affected my work greatly. When I search online, I notice that they need architects in Australia and they offer high salaries, which made me think that this is the right country for me and my future children as well. I thought that raising children in my own country is hard. I can't provide for them the necessities, so I thought that I should go to a better place to secure a better future and education for my children.
