"AMERICAN DREAM"

Hi I want to talk about my experiences of my life in America since I came from my country. I am an immigrant. I came to the United States 16 years ago I was younger and life was less hard than today.
I was living with 2 of my auties at California the firs time I came from my country Both of them were married and their own family.

The first year I was a babysitter for 2 of cousin's.
But it was kind of difficult because they used to spoke English only.
I kept trying to understand when they spoke to me slowly.
I used to going out with 2 of my aunties alot because they wanted to let me know about the variety of beautiful places, California has; it was very fun I really enjoyed it.

Was very nice experience being together with 2 aunties. Before I came to this country I hadn't seem them for about 10 years or more, I can't remember, how long.
They used to give money to spend for my personals needs.
Years later I found a job and I started inviting them to the mall and paid for whatever they wanted to.

My experience compare G. B. was pretty much similar. Now I wish to go back to my first time I came to this country. Now I have to pay alot bills, rent,insurance, etc.
Now I am married but I still wish to back to the simple immigrant life.
I don't think being happy means you have to be rich.

"ADJECTIVES'

ADJECTIVES


My hometown at Mexico is way smaller than Renton. But it has beautiful beach and huge river we also have a nice lake.

My sister Anabel is 22 years old and I 38 years old so I am 16 years older than her.
And she also has two children a girl her name is Naomi and a boy his name is Rudy.


Nora is more smiling and talktive than Tatiana. And I am more talktive than Maarianne.

' MY NEIGHBORS'

The place I live has only 4 apartments and I have been living there for about 5 years.
We are 4 different familys, I live in the apartment #1 and in front of my apartment lives 3 of my best friends,and I have known about 5 and 10 years.
They are from Oaxaca,Merida States of Mexico. One of them is Wilbert I have known him for about 10 years he is a very good chef. And the other 2 are friends for about 5 years but we don't see them very often because they have 2 jobs.
And my neighbors on top are from Puebla Mexico. They have children, a boy and a girl. She is very nice person; her husband is a kind of quite guy but he is nice too.

I met then when they moved in about year a go. I talk to her almost everyday. She is very funny.
My other neighbor is American,her name is Beth and she has a son. We talk to almost every other day when we go to work.
I have never had any problems with any of my neighbors.
All of them are very nice people..

'MALLS'

Malls are like towns where people do many things. I like malls because you can find all kinds of clothes,shoes,jewelries,and home items and many more things.
I like malls because when you go shop,it is work like you are doing exercise.
Some times is good when you are depressed or sad, you don't have to spend money just go buy ice cream or cup of coffe and look for a nice place to sit. Try look to the people how they dress,how many members from the same family how fun they are,and also what do they buy. Is very interesting try it, it really works.
The other good thing is find store do you really like. And try look for something do you wish to have, don't buy it at that time, try come back when you think they are on sale.
Something I don't really like is to find parking, and sometimes we are so rude, when we try get one, you think you found one and somebody else took it from you.
But beside that I thing have malls are good. An other bad thing is when you spend a lot money and sometimes it is money you don't have; that's right many banks got so rich because we use credit cards. And you have to pay more than what you spent.

Martha's Experience

Martha's experience

I came to United States 16 years ago, my first year living here was very hard and sad. I was very frustrated because of English a different culture,and no friends. Also the people I used to live with were older than me. But the words part was I had never traveled before. My first 3 to 6 months I cried almost every day. I was missing very badly my mom and all my family. I didn't anything those first months.

But I started looking for job and I toughed it would be a problem because of the Lang barrier, so I decided taking care kids was probably easiest plus I can learn English.And at work I was taking care 2 kids a girl and a boy his name is Brent and her name is Lindsay I took care them for about 6 years. Also I was live in a housekeeper 5 days a week.

So that became pretty much my family. They made fell that way.
After 6 years my progress was very obviously; my English was way better and my life was 100% different.
I was still missing my family but fell more comfortable about it. I MET a lot friends and also I met my husband. The kids grew up and my job of taking care of them was pretty much done, their parents wanted me keep working for them but I decided with my husband to make a big change, to get married and move to an other state.
It was so hard for me to make that decision. I had fallen in love with my kids.
I felt that way. But we moved out. I still keep in touch with them till today.
Now I have my own family. I have very nice and wonderful husband. Looking back I think all the difficult past was for a good reason for my self. Now I am studing ESL at Renton Community College. I am very happy with the type of life I have right now. My life is 100% different than 16 years ago. Also I am so proud with my teacher and all my class mattes. She is very good teacher, thanks Liz for all your help....

It is very intersting but the one I am born, doesn't fit my personality. The one I am fell more close is DRAGON I am energetic,excitable,short-tempered and very honest. Also I'm very sensitive and brave. I can inspire trust on anyone...
