How was It for me when I first moved to NZ? (my version)

In 2009 my family and I, we moved to NZ because we knew that NZ was a country that will provide good education and good healthcare.

It took me a while to get used to NZ’s lifestyle not also that but school was very hard, because I was struggling lot with my English because English is not my first language.
