  Hope When I cameto America I felt sad I left a lot of family behind Like my grandma, she was a great person; when I needed help she helped she was going to help me no matter what was wrong with me even when I am sad she will cheer me up even when I was mad too. When I left Africa my mom hoped we will have a good life but when we arrived We didn’t know a word of English But after three years we got the hang of it Then we learned to speak English and write English Also, three days later, my mom got a job so we can get a house.

  HOPE Hope is theheart of my family I wonder why my parents left Cambodia we came because of the war in Cambodia at the killing field and in the war in Cambodia my great grandpa and grandma passed away It was hard for my dad to take care of all three of his kids I hope my parents won’t fight in front of me or stop yelling at each other in front of me and my brother. NOW WE ARE IN AMERICA, but we are still a family Because hope is the heart of my family. By Malina 6

  HOPE!!! Hope is ashooting star Flying in the sky brightly It shows freedom and faith My mom and dad had hope to come to NC It took time but they knew what they are going through Hope is just what they had needed It was tough but they knew hope was it Walking hard day and night Hungry and tired They stopped a few times when there was lots of rain After the rain ended they started walking more and more My mother was pregnant with my oldest brother My mother cried because they had their first baby And because they have a safe place to have it Two months later they just made it to North Carolina Such good people gave food and water to my parents Hope pushed us here to America Hope is our shooting star 11
