One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen a lot of amazing thinks during my live but so far the most outstanding thing I have done was going to the States at the age of 16. The first time abroad without knowiny anyone and stay there for one year. I truely experienced there that everything which does not kill you makes you stronger. My host family kicked me out about 2 weeks before Christmas and I had to find a new accommodation, at the age of 16, thousands of miles away from my family without any guidance or help. This experience changed me a lot.
Another amzing thing happened when I went to Madrid, doing an internship. I went on the 31st of December to a city I don't know, with a language I did not speak and with anyone I knew. I stood at the biggest market place in Madrid, the "Puerto del Sol" all by myself with thousands of happy celebrating people. I have to admit I was not feeling very happy at that moment. About 10 Minutes before midnight I walked over that market place and saw someone familiar and he had the same look on his face. It turned out that he went to the same school as I did. New Year was saved.
