Hi, my name is Quynh, and I am 11 years old. When I was younger my parents decided that our family would have a better way of life if we moved to this country. My parents and I moved to the United States from Vietnam with my younger brother and sister in 2001.
My parents were both photographers in Vietnam and I was doing well in school, but they still felt opportunities were here for us that were not in my home country. Although we have always lived in the southern part of the United States we have not always lived in the Atlanta area.
My first thoughts were this was a very crowded area. Now, however, we live in a part that I think is quiet and peaceful and I enjoy that. I also think it is colorful here. The trees, flowers, people, and the city itself all have lots of color. I have relatives here and they have helped us adjust to the way of life here. But I must admit that I miss my grandparents and friends who I left behind.
Life is better here for our family. There are many things we have here that we could have never enjoyed at home. For instance, I think school here is the best. Even though I won a contest in second grade and third grade as the top student in my school, school here is better. We do study hard, but I think I enjoy it more. We write and I can express myself. I learn art and music as well as reading and writing. I have a teacher who makes all the learning something I want to do. It seems she makes the hard work less hard.
I am glad we came here. There are new things every day for me. I do not know what the future holds for me but I welcome everyday to see what it brings.
