I came 6 years ago from Colombia. I waited 9 years to come to this country. When I received the news I was so happy and excited. I had been waiting and waiting and it finally came true. My dad and mom were divorced already, my mom was raising my sister and me by herself. My family is all born and raised in Colombia but my great grandpa came to the United States a long time ago and for that reason my family came to the United States little by little. I was prepared for everything, but I didn’t know I as a person was going to change.
1st day of middle school I didn’t know English at all just the words hello and bye. The minute I walk up the stairs a girl started laughing when she saw me. It was the start of a whole year
