One day, when I was eight , my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 21 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done 22and allowing you to skip a grade, but you’ll have to 23your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 24 for the rest of the day I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the 25 decisions adults had to make.
For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening
I’d 26 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 27 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

It was then 30 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 31 family and work.32difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a 33 attitude.
Back home , I 34 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she 35to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be 36. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable 37.
My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the 38 has really taught me. Sacrifices 39 in the end. The separation between us has proved to be 40 for me.
