Translation of riachuelo

I remember that after highschool I went to study English in New York. First I did not know whether the city was right for me cause I wanted a place where I would not feel lost. However, it was the right choice.
I think it's a good idea to fly to Antigua to a language school. I feel more confident with the grammar in Spanish. Perhaps it would be better if the school would arrange the accommodation.
I hope there were not too many mistakes here. I have learned Spanish not a long time ago and I am still very insecure! Tell me please, where do you come from and what you do?
