HI, my name is Nguyen. My friends call me Michael. I was born in VIETNAM. I born in March 28, 1985. Now I am 13 years old. In VIETNAM my family lived in SAIGON. My family come to America by airplane in March 31, 1995.
The airplane takes about one day to get to America. When I came to America I feel very cold. When I saw my own room I feel really happy. Then one month later my dad bought a car I feel very happy because my family has our own car. Then about two or three days later my sister and my brother go to school and I have to go to school, too. I go to Arbor Heights School. I was very afraid when I first came to school because I don't know everything, I don't know how to speak, I don't know how to read and write.
At that time my family was very afraid because everything is different than my country. Now my family likes to live here. Because now we know almost everything. Now my father and my mother like to go back to VIETNAM because they want to visit they friends.
Michael, 4/22/98
