Coming to America

My aunt was here first. She was here 12 years. She had five kids. My dad came second and he was here nine years and everybody came from Africa. Then my mom and I came. Now I have five cousins who were born here. I was here. It was really hard to come to the United States.

In Kenya life is hard but it is a nice place to live. When I get big, I want to visit Africa and Nairobi. My life is now easy here in the United States. I have been here two years and two months. I was in Africa ten years.
