My Memories

 

M. Franco

 

I remember my brothers and sisters and good time in Brazil.
I remember in sometime about my church in my country.
I remember the summer, when here it is winter.
I remember when the gas was a 99 cents a gallon, because, now is expensive.
I remember when my kids went to elementary school, because now they go to college.

In my country the season now is spring, but here it is autumn.
In my country we don't have snow, but here we have snow.
In my country the school day about 4 hours, but here is 7 hours.

I am glad to be here because, I am together with my family, but I am sad because, some families aren't together like my family.
I am glad to be here, because it is my oportunity for I'm enjoy, but I am sad because, other not enjoy.
I am to be here because, I am going to the english class but I am sad because the english class is hard.
