Coming to the U.S.

We were in Vietnam but I was not born yet. My family left because my mom wanted my brother, my sister, and me to have a better life. My family never talks about coming to the U.S. so I don't if it was hard or easy. First we went to go to the Philippines. I was born there. Then we stayed there for two months. We went to the airplane to Seattle, Washington. My mom's work was to sew. I have two sisters and one brother. My grandma came to Seattle in 1995. My uncle, his wife, and my cousins are coming to the U.S. later on. Now I live in Seattle, Washington. My family and I live in a house.
