My life

When I came to the United States I couldn't read English. For me it was very hard listening to other people talking English in front of me. Sometimes I would get up set because I didn't know if they was talking about me also In my sister's house everybody talked English except my mother and me. Sometimes we went to each other's room and cried. One day I promised my mother I would come to learn English and make her proud of her son.

Now everything is different for my mother and me. It was hard for me, but I did it, and thank GOD for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
