Who he/she is? and Why he/she moved to a new place?
Recently, my cousin went to Victoria, Canada, for her higher education.
It was her dream to go there.
She had wanted to go there since her childhood.
So, she was very happy when she got her visa and her dream was fulfilled.
What the new place is like?
Whenever we talk on the phone, she can’t stop talking about how amazing Canada is.
The one thing she really loved was the changing colours of leaves during fall.
India doesn’t have a fall season, so it was all really new for her.

The education system is also completely different.
Slowly, her English got better over time, and now she speaks English so fluently.

If it hadn’t been for her, I would never have dreamt of studying in Canada.
