My First Day in Level Six

Today is the first day of level six. I am so happy to be there. My Teacher~s name is Jayne, she is so cute, flexible, cooperative, patient,committed, honest, and smart. I have some old friends, Jenny, Patrick, Sayed, and Sara. 
We studied today about {Plagiarism}. I am happy to learn new words, and to improve my reading skills.
I wish to continue in this class, because it`s useful to me and I need it.
Afternoon, I went to my volunteering day at my children `s Catholic School.
Then, I went to my doctor`s appointment, and he changed the prescription, to new medicine,also, he transferred me to Radiology. Later, I went home and stayed on the bed to take a rest.

My Long Vacation

I am at home from the beginning of this week, because I twisted my left foot. So, I went to my Family Doctor, and he gave me a sick leave to stay home more. In the beginning, my left foot was hurting me, but after some days, the right foot hurt me, too.because when I cook, wash or pray, I must stand on the other one. That`s why it was mandatory to stay home for a week. I feel a little bit better, but when I went shopping   yesterday, I felt tired. I don`t know why. I am worry and afraid to continue for a long time, especially, I knew that, I was promoted to level six, so I am exiting to go my new class. But the real problem I have no car, so I have to walk to ride on a bus about 900 m, because my home is away from any near transportation.
I forgot to mention the other worse problem I am facing nowadays. The elevator problem which our new company is loading new elevators, and every morning, I wait on foot about 20 minutes, and I am lucky if it comes. Therefore, the week before last week, I had to go downstairs, and I live in the 18th floor, so I am not sure I`ll continue in this situation or what will happen next days?

Last Hardiest Thursday

Last Thursday, I went to the Family Doctor because on Tuesday, my foot was twisted.
the Doctor checked my foot and said, "You have to take a rest for a week." Therefore, last Thursday, I sent a message to Joseph, to tell him that I wouldn't come. The next day, my foot continued to hurt. Unfortunately,  I couldn`t go to IEP Conference on Friday, and I stayed at home. After three days of resting, my foot have become better, and I could come to ESL Class.

                                               A trip to A Ballet Rehearsal
Last Tuesday, my daughters and I enjoyed so much when we we went to A Ballet Rehearsal.
The performance was fantastic and enjoyable. The actors and the actress were talented and performed amazingly.
The Rehearsal orchestra were accurate and very organized. In addition, the Maestro controlled the band like a harmony. Moreover, the Rehearsal team dressed up colorfully and classically.
Furthermore, the security were regulated, helpful, and cooperative.
I felt happy to watch the performance, it was the first time to us to go there.
I hope to get any chance to go there soon.
I wish all of you to watch the performance and to feel the Canadian lifestyle.

Relationship Problems In Immigrant Families

                                                    Relationship problems  

I think every  immigrant family has some problems to face.
First of all, there are language and communication problems because most of them come from other countries, where  English isn`t spoken .
 The financials problems are serious, and it's difficult to live without enough money
to have a home and furniture, to pay your utility bills and medicine, transportation costs and food, and for the rainy days.
Also there are job problems as an example, you can't work at good job without a certificate of qualification.
So, you have to study hard, and to pay a lot of fees to the suitable collage then, to work as volounteer to get Canadian experience, and no guarantee to work after that.
Every kind of work looking for youth, so if you were old, you would not find an opportunity to work here.
Different culture and tradition you confront in Canada, specially, with your children the rules are difference and it give the children the right to fight, oppose, and sew their parents, although there in no one love the children like their parents.
To leave your home country and to live here away from your family members, your own home, like a cutting branch, that will affect on yourself and more on your children. 
I think, if I died suddenly, There is no one will take care of my children, maybe some friends will come to my funeral and then, the government will take care of them or to bring them to other parents.
I'm asking myself everyday, is this life I have planned to live and to put my children in.
I am asking my God," Do you want me to continue ?"
"Was that your plan for us?" or
"Didn't I feel and rebuke the grace which in my hands?"
If you know the answers just call me.
