He said that it was fun to come in the bus because he could see many places. He had a hard experience when he was coming in the bus with his family because they might get lost because they didn’t know the place where they were crossing. He came to the United States in January fifth of 2007. He didn’t like the United States because it is cold and his country is a hot place.

He went to Mission Education Center Elementary School when he came here. The school was good because he started to meet new people and started to make new friends. He feels bored being in the United States because he has been here for along time and he wants to go back to his country.
