Name Professor Subject Date Personal Happiness When one relocates from one country to another in search of greener pastures, several things change. For instance, when I moved to America, some of the things that changed included the people I interacted with and the events I participated in and subsequently the change influenced my happiness either positive or negatively. While I am saddened that my daughter will grow up separated from the rest of her relatives, being able to provide for her financially and raising her in a country where she has better opportunities for education and professional success greatly contributes to my happiness. Back from our country, life was way different, people work harder yet financially there are no changes. Since the rest of my family still lives in the Philippines and my daughter is the only child, my happiness is diminished knowing that she will grow up without being able to develop close relationships with the rest of her relatives. While I was in Philippine with my daughter, I developed a close relationship with my family members. My daughter also developed strong family bonds with her aunties, uncles, and cousins. Subsequently, through the close bonds with the relatives, my daughter and I managed to overcome sadness experiences, loneliness, and low self-esteem. However, the situation is different in America. There are no close relatives around to accompany my daughter. Furthermore, most of the children in America do not engage in social activities as it was in Philippine. One needs to engage with at least one close relative and a couple of other relationships as to avoid loneliness which significantly influences happiness
