About
My Family and I moved to U.S. six years ago from Burma. Both of my parents are hard workers since I can remember. My dad used to work as a carpenter from sunrise to sunset every Monday to Friday, and my mom would sell vegetables and fruits from her garden. The money they make only last one day for foods. It was hard trying to build a healthy life, and getting an education was difficult for the poor like my family. My dad decided to come to America where people from my country say dream can become reality. I have three younger siblings; two of my sisters attend Tascosa high school and my youngest brother goes Sam Houston middle school. I think my parent dreams are becoming true one by one. First of all, I want to thank God for everything. Secondly, I like to thank my parent for their hard work and kindness and the love they have for their children.
