Coming to the United States

I was born in the Ukraine. I lived there until I was eleven. I remember there was a lot of snow there. My school was big there were a lot of kids in it I studied math, reading, science, and Ukraine language. We only had P.E. outside. We had to run like to blocks. Sometimes the students clean the school.

My grandma went to the U.S. first. She told to come. We came to Seattle where she lived. The family split. One half went to live with my grandma and the other went to live with my cousin. After at least two years my family moved into a house together. Everybody in my family works to pay for the house. We deliver 350 newspapers everyday. My sister works at McDonalds. My father works a different McDonalds. My brother works at building offices. I'm going to school and I deliver papers after school.
