During the interview with my brother, I asked him what was the biggest sacrifice he had to make to return to Canada “A big part of my childhood. Being the eldest child and the most fluent in English, everyone turned to me for help in all areas of communication. While the other children played outside, many times I had to stay inside to make phone calls, send emails, and fill out forms. Due to the time difference between Canada and Europe, it often happened that I had to deal with urgent calls during the night, instead of sleeping. I had to grow up and act like an adult much earlier than my peers." My parents also gave up a lot, leaving their family, friends and all their possessions to start all over again in Canada. Those three have done so much for this whole family, and I couldn't thank them enough, my brother gave up this childhood and secondary school for his other siblings, including me, to make the most of our lives. Just like my parents who did everything possible to start their lives again for now for the seventh time from scratch. And they did it all just to help their children and brothers. Only in the last year have I started to make sense of how they did it all, and I can't imagine any other person being able to complete half of what they did.
