Coming to America

I was born in America with my little brother. My mom was born in Cambodia. Two of my sisters were born in Thailand, and my big brother was born in Thailand too. Everybody in my family was born in a different country. Now I am living in Seattle. I do not know what year I came to Seattle, but my big sister is 17 years old. I like my Mom's food. When my mom cooks, I like to eat the food that she cooks. I like to eat the chicken when she cooks it. My family talks about going back to Cambodia for a visit, but we are happy to be living in Seattle.
