I was born in Ethiopia. I lived with my dad, mom, brother grandpa, grandma and aunt. In 2004, when I was three years old my dad died. I don’t remember much except how my mom was crying.
Two of my aunts already lived in the U.S.A. and after my dad died, they sent money to my mom to bring us here. I came to America last year and I did not speak English. Now I speak a lot.
When we arrived in Chicago, we stayed with my aunts but now we live alone. My mom works at O’Hare. America is fun, but I would like to visit Ethiopia again someday.
My tutor at school helped me write this. She comes to help me every week. Twice a week. Thank you Ms. Digan.

I enjoyed reading your story and hope that you can some day visit Ethiopia again.
I am glad you are enjoying the United States, and am very impressed with how quickly you are learning English. It is a tough language!
I'm sorry that your dad died, but I'm glad that you like the U.S! Your story was interesting and I enjoyed reading it.

I found tour story very interesting. It must of been so hard to adapt to a whole different environment. That's great that you learned to speak English in such a short period of time.
