Mi presentación ante la comunidad de HIVE / My presentation to the HIVE community

I came to Colombia to improve my health. I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis and in Venezuela there were no medicines to slow down the disease. I have been treated for 3 years, thanks to the fact that I was working in a Cafeteria-Restaurant. Due to the pandemic the restaurant where I worked closed and I became unemployed, at the moment I am working on my own, I have not sought formal employment because the medications I take weaken the immune system, so I have been afraid of contracting the virus. Thank God I have been doing fairly well, I don't earn much but it is enough to cover my basic expenses.

If you are wondering why I do not practice my profession, it is because I left Venezuela quickly and I did not have time to apostille my documents. Although it is also influenced by the fact that the validation of the degree is expensive and I have to work to make ends meet.

On the other hand, living in another country is difficult because you cannot see your loved ones, you must get used to and adapt to another culture. What you learned in your country is not what you experience in another and we must respect the beliefs, values and customs of the new country where we are living.

Colombia is a beautiful country, along the way I have met good people and others not so good. But that is the way it is everywhere. We just have to move forward without looking back or thinking bad.

Lastly, I want to go back home and hug my family members. I love and miss them very much.

Thanks for reading!
