Racing dream

Chapter 1 - Story

Sarah is 20 years old, and if you ask her, nothing really highlights her life to say that it's actually a cool young adult or teenager (whatever). Maybe her lack of luck with things, such as love, can be something to mention. But otherwise, it's just a boring routine with some moments to enjoy and be herslf 100%.

She was born in England, but after 3 years, her family moved to Argentina. Her father David accepted a job offer and with that they got a new lifestyle in a new country. Her mother Silvia is an english teacher and met David while he was in one of his work travels to Argentina. They got to know each other because David didn't really dominate spanish (not to mention that argentinians have kind of a hole different language), and Silvia was there to help him out.

David stayed for a month that time, working near Silvia's house, so they got to meet each other every now and then. In that month David fell in love with the country and how amazing its people were, later he would realize that he was also in love with Silvia. Both of them would stay in contact and also would find any time to call through Facetime, even a few times Silvia would visit him and his country home.

At first, it was not easy. Neither of them were sure to start a long-distance relationship. Time differences, they didn't get to see each other more than 5 times a year, and sometimes not even once, made everything a bit more difficult. But that changed after Silvia got the chance to give classes of english to exchange students from all over the world there in England, in the same town where David lived.

Time passed, and they started a relationship and a life together in Hertford. In 2003, they had a daughter, Sarah, and the three of them would be a family. Of course, they would visit Argentina as well, both of them attached to the country and wanting the same for their daughter.

A few years later, when Sarah was almost 3 years old, David got the opportunity to work in Argentina again. This time, it was a permanent stay in the country and was also the chance to get a higher position in the company, so they accepted the offer. With that decision, a new chapter started for the three of them, in a country that had been waiting for their return.

Silvia was really happy to return to her country. Getting to listen again to her native language, watching the captivating chaos of the city and its people full of energy and so different from the english people. David was encouraged to experience the argentinian lifestyle he used to be amazed by in the past. Watching Silvia happy also was a great factor for him, since the most important thing was his family to be safe, together and having the best time possible with all the changes ahead of them. For Sarah, it was a change that she didn't really get the chance to understand at first, because it wasn't really such a big thing for her. Of course that when you're 3 years old, you're not gonna get a moment to understand what's going on. The only thing you know is that you're in the country your mom is from and always talk about memories your family got there.

Life was pretty much the same for Sarah, english and spanish were the usual deal in their house. The only thing different that she could understand is that, in the moment she didn't have as much park to run around as she used to have back in home in England, but that wans't really a big problem.

Years went by, and Sarah's family got used to the new lifestyle in their second country. Sarah had her friends, pretty much a normal childhood without dramas and lots of new memories in her country. Just like her parents, she loved to travel. A lot of her most appreciated memories came from the travels the family got to do. Her parents loved to see their kid exploring and enjoying so much while learning. To watch their daughter growing up was something amazing, and probably every parent thinks that, and it was not the exception for David and Silvia.

Obviously, it was a difficult change for David. The biggest factor was the language, spanish is a really difficult language to learn. In Argentina, they use a lot of words that only make sense to them, so to adapt to this was really a headache. Luckily, Silvia did help a lot with that. With his daughter, he could speak english, even though the kid would most of the time answer in spanish (partially just to piss him off).

Sarah was such a daddy's girl, David loved that. They shared their love for sports, movies, and books. Their bond started to grow when they both realized that, but of course, for David Sarah was always her little girl. Silvia was more like a friend, the one who listened when her kid needed it, with whom Sarah would watch romantic movies, and of course, there'll be plenty of gossiping. The family was always together, bond strong between them.

But the family was also small. It was the three of them against the world. No uncles or aunts, because Silvia's brother was not considered an uncle to Sarah, and David had no siblings. So, no cousins either. Sarah had a godfather, though, her father's best friend. It was also a long-lost relationship, David lost contact with his friend by the time they moved to Argentina, being also the time when his best friend got a job that got most of his time and a lot of travel during the year.
