When i was a kid, i was born in vietnam. Life was was tough for everybody in my family,we had not much food to eat and not alot of things to do but soon we had money enough to go to america. it tooked us 3 months or so to get here, as we reach the port of virgina couple of my dad's friend were waiting for us there. First i was scared but excited because that i dont know Amercia, but i heard that it was amazing so i had to see it for myself. when we arrived to their house i was lke "OMG" because it was huge and that it has a basement. Soon after 3 years we brought a home for ourselves, it was'nt big but it would keep us together. soon after my dad worked to build houses for people and my mom worked at a nail shop to do people's nails,it was going great for 2 years, but soon after virgina my parents and everybdy eles wanted to goto New York, i'v heard about New York for awhile now and thought that it would be a great place to go to. So soon after, one by one of us were gone and later on it was us...... Going to New York was very exciting because there was huge buildings and the road were tight, We stayed that my cousin house for week or so to get enough money to have a place of our own, but for that week i had the most funniest time with them and that they took me to alot of places it was great and also that my parents got us a home as well. When we got there to the house it had 2 floors but other people was living there and we had the second floor. Everything was great but then my parents job were not because that they had to bring those cart stand everyday, back and forth but also that it takes an hour or so to get to places were theres alot of people were they need food or drink when thier walking to places. it was hard times but we manage through as 1 year past by my parents decided to move to New York as first i did'nt want to but we had to because our lives in New York was'nt going to well and we had to go. I was going to miss my cousins and good friends. So we packed up and headed our way to Louisiana, when we arried we stayed at our other cousins house and my parents tries to find us a home, after the summer went by my parents found us a home and decided to stay here for a long period of time. as years go by i'v becoming mature and think things thorugh. Know i'm in the 8th grade and i go to Harry S. Truman Middle School.
