When I was in my country Uzbekistan. I lived in Samarqand which  is in central Asia my city is historical place because during middle ages there were kings that lived in houses there castle and people saved thoes  places to make historical place.My country Uzbekistan were small country its has population of 30 milion. And my house was in center of the city and in front of my house there were a lot stores,restaurants so if I need something I could just go and get what  I wanted because its was close to me.In the back of my house there were chayxana its the place where all the mans and old mans go sit  drink tea, eat food and play chase,cards. Thats place is fun to waste time if you have nothing to do but when you go there you smell food and smell of sea.

Its was March 5 ,2009  its was a sunny day I, my 16 years old brother  my 9 years old sister and my mom and dad we all went to buy ticket for America. I feel confusing because in one way I don’t wanted  to leave my grandma and grandpa in other way I had  to because I have to have better education in order to get better job.So we  decided  to come here so we buyed the ticket its was due on April 27 in my birthday  first I was mad at my parents because I thought  they don’t want to celebrat my birthday. After  days and weeks, April 26 came so we left the house in samarqand with my Parents, Brother ,Sister and Uncle, Aunt  so we ordered  big van and leaved the house and after 3 hours we up to Capital city Tashkent.

Then we went to my Aunts house her house was big painted sky blue 3 floor.So my cousin which is my Aunts  daughter,Malika does  sport named judo and shes only 16 years old  she ask me to go with her then i went there and sit watch her wrestling.  Then her friend asked  me to be her partner i say sure and wrestled  with her and  taked  easy on her.Then her practice  finished and I say bye to her friends. After that I took the  bus and went back to house and then I take shower and my aunt make food for us and we ate  that and went to watch movie and i felt asleep.

Next morning i wake up and everyone was waiting for me to eat breakfast.

So I take shower and went to eat breakfast and everyone was looking at me like they never see me before and they ask me what happen to my eye they I say nothing and my cousin say that I wrestled girl so everyone laugh.

Then we finished eating and clean up so after that we pack up from there and get in to car on our way to airport so my aunt give me kiss and hug then  she say dont forget me I was like why would I forgot about you .Then she say that shes just joking so I say bye and we left and we went to airport and we checked in our bags and waited for airplane. I was freezing inside of the  airport its was cold there. And you can't listen to music unless you have headphone because its was like 200 people chatting.

Finally after long waiting plane was ready so we start walked in to airplane and we sit  and waited  like 30 minutes  to make sure everyone ready to go.

So after that so finally plane flayed we fly 5 hours to Riga and then we get  scan in there  again  and we get in on different airplane and fly for 10 hours from Riga to America when we  were flying from there its looked like scare because we were in middle of Atlantic Ocean and I scared and didn't look at the window. So  after long fly  we up to JFK International Airport  in New York City. So my uncle meat us up there and he drive use to strange building I was shocked because I thought its was beautiful in here actually no I was wrong because you only saw garbages in streets and next day I wake up and I see out from window the I forgot that I was in America then after 2 days we went to Florida to visit so we went there there were beautiful I saw hotels I smell fresh air and I saw beautiful beach  and we went and rent the hotel room for 7 days so my life in Florida actually its was the best time ever because I don't have to go anywhere to swim or workout there were pool in my hotel and fitness room so I can go and work out the 2 day I was in Florida I fall in love with girl and I could talk to her so I was looking at her and she just came and say hello in Russia I was shocked because I find someone who speaks my languages. Then I ask her out she say yes we went to the beach together and she was the most beautiful  girl I ever seen. So I came in to my hotel room and my parents ordered some crazy burger I eat and fall asleep. So  my new girlfriend and 7 day Florida was great then we went back to New York and after 3 months I started school in Ditmas Is 62 intermediate school its was middle school I started 6 grade and my mom told me that " when you have money you have fake friends when you have nothing the friends who is next to you is true friend " then I say okay and started  school  and find friend and now he's one of my best friend. Then my brother told me that "fighting for little thing doesn't solve your problem" and then after 5 month the school is finished we up to summer vocation and my new life began with new friends and school. No matter what working hard and listening to your parents doesn't make you to change in bad way.

So if you come here, don't change the way you are.Whenever you change it change in the good way not in bad way because America changes people so fast.
