When I arrived in the new country it took me a while to open myself to unfamiliar people, in particular adults, also because sometimes they did not seem to have a real interest in me. Having a guardian helped me to enter into relationship with older people. However, when I turned 18 the guardianship finished and I decided to fill this vacuum in order to be further supported. In particular I established a very close relationship with a person that became a support person for me. With her I could talk about my present and future situation, spend my free time doing different things, improve my knowledge about the new place, etc. I am very grateful to this person who accompanied and guided me during a very crucial moment for my future.

 

Establishing a relationship with a trustful and well-intentioned person may result in developing a good point of reference for guidance and support.
