My New Life in the USA My name is Alicia. In 1991 I emigrated from my country, Mexico for a better opportunity. In my country it was not possible for me. I arrived with my children to fulfill our dreams to improve intellectually and economically. At my arrival we had to face first of all how to learn English and trying to find a job. It was difficult due to job discrimination. Even today I continue to face discrimination. However this does not stop me from realizing my dreams and goals. Today as a Grandmother of two granddaughters I am excited to have more members in the family despite of being a member of a large family myself. I am a 65 year old woman with many goals and dreams. Although I have faced many challenges-one of them my accident (due to this I am unable to complete many tasks) my dreams will not end. One of them is speaking English correctly with the help of Mrs. Eva. I believe that I will achieve it.

ROSA: I began to collect mattresses and furniture that I saw lying on the street

My Country By RR

English as a Second Language, 4th year I grew up in a beautiful small town, with so many trees and lots of mountains. One of the things that I remember is when I arrived to this country it was how different the land and weather was. The land of My Country is fertile. The other thing I remember is how my house was so beautiful like a paradise. It was surrounded by so many fruit trees that made lots of fruits like Tangerines, Pomegranates, Cirguelas, Bananas etc. The days were sunny and bright. I was able to enjoy the weather, the people, and everything was around of me. Actually, I never knew what winter was until I arrived to this country.

RR: My house was surrounded by so many fruit trees that made lots of fruits like... Bananas.
