My life was very boring before I come to this place. Always I stayed home and helped my mother. She needed help, so my father was die a long time ago. After my older sister marry I was the oldest child in the house. When my sister get marry I leave school. After two years my uncle say my mother, "Send Teresa to stay with us in the United States." I was very happy. Now I study, and I can go out with my friends.
