Decisions Two years ago, I was working in Caracas, I thought that everything worked like it’s supposed to be, but suddenly everything changed, I took a decision, leave the country, try to live in other place, wherever. I traveled to Panama, it was incredible, I mean… to be in other country where you don’t meet no one, where you need to learn all about those people and the places and more. Well, the firsts days were simple, because you have too much information on line, so… go to the bank, supermarket, mall… it was easy, but them… you need to find a place to live and a work, those things are complicated, but It wasn’t a problem to me, because I found an apartment and a work, everything was working… them I received a bad news… I was sick, I had cancer, how was it possible? I thought that my body was ok. I return to my country with my family, I was in a hospital, taking a treatment. After a year, I was ok, so I took the same decision again, come back to Panama, this time to be in Panama was easier, because I met that place, but them… I was sick… again, I couldn’t believe, this time I had tuberculosis, hadn’t this sickness disappeared? I thought so, to be alone in a hospital is so difficult, well… I needed to return again with my family. Now I am taking medicines, waiting to finish this treatment… I feel so good, I am great… I need to take a decision in a few weeks, what am I going to do? Leave my country again? Returns to Panama? To be alone? I want to work, I need to work, to live with my parents again is good, but I want to feel alive, I want to go on with my life.

Decisions

Two years ago, I was working in Caracas. I thought that everything was working like it was supposed to, but suddenly everything changed. I took a decision, left the country, tried living in another place, wherever. I traveled to Panama; it was incredible. I mean… to be in another country where you don’t know anyone, where you need to learn all about those people and the places and more. Well, the first days were simple, because you have so much information on line, so… go to the bank, supermarket, mall… it was easy, but then… you need to find a place to live and a job, those things are complicated, but it wasn’t a problem for me, because I found an apartment and a job, everything was going well… them I received some bad news… I was sick, I had cancer, how was it possible? I thought that my body was okay.

I returned to my country with my family. I was in a hospital, receiving treatment. After a year, I was okay, so I made the same decision again, to come back to Panama, this time to be in Panama was easier, because I was already familiar with that place, but then… I was sick… again. I couldn’t believe it. This time I had tuberculosis - hadn’t this sickness disappeared? I thought so. To be alone in a hospital is so difficult. Well… I needed to return again with my family. Now I am taking medicine, waiting to finish this treatment… I feel so good, I am great… I need to make a decision in a few weeks - what am I going to do? Leave my country again? Return to Panama? To be alone? I want to work; I need to work. To live with my parents again is good, but I want to feel alive - I want to go on with my life.

Remember, with single countable nouns, you can't use "other". You must use "another". "Another" is really "an other" - it's singular.

You can't just link full sentences together with a comma "," Use a semicolon ";" a dash "-" or use a fullstop "." and start a new sentence.

Decisions

Two years ago, I was working in Caracas. I thought that everything was working like it was supposed to be, but suddenly everything changed. I made a decision to leave the country, try to live in other place, anywhere. I traveled to Panama, it was incredible. I mean… to be in other country where you don’t know anyone, where you need to learn all about those people and the places and more. Well, the firsts days are simple, because you have a lot information on line, going to the bank, supermarket mall... those things are easy. But then… you need to find a place to live and a job, those things are complicated, but It wasn’t a problem to me, because I managed to find those things easily, everything was working well… then I received some bad news… I was sick, I had cancer, how was it possible? I thought that my body was okay.

I returned to my country with my family, I was in a hospital receiving a treatment. After a year, I was okay, so I made the same decision again - come back to Panama. This time being in Panama was easier because I already knewthat place, but then… I was sick… again. I couldn’t believe it! This time I had tuberculosis. Hadn’t this sickness disappeared yet? I thought so. To be alone in a hospital is so difficult, well… I needed to return to my family again. Now I am taking medicines, and waiting to finish this treatment… I feel so good, I feel great… I need to make a decision in a few weeks. What am I going to do? Leave my country again? Returns to Panama? To be alone? I want to work, I need to work. Living with my parents again is good, but I want to feel alive. I want to go on with my life.
