Coming to America was
my parent's hope to seek a better life. I came to America when
I was eight, so I didn't know where America was and how things
were in America. All I knew was I'm going to move to somewhere
far away from my relatives and friends. Before I came to America,
adults around me told me how good America was and how fortunate
our family was to go to America. So I got really excited about
going to America, but also upset. I don't know how to describe
that feeling of happiness that I finally would get to live with
my mom. My mom immigrated to America when I was four, and for
a long time I had a feeling of loneliness and of losing valuable
people, people who have been important to me. So up until the
day that I left China I was still wondering what America was really
like. And if you want to know what happened to my family and me
then you please wait until you can continue to read my next journal
entry.
