So
it
was,
every
house
was
unique
whether
it
was
gonna
be
like
two
floors
or
one
floor,
and
the
fact
that
it
was
very
green
I
really
like
that,
and
it
seemed
like
it
was
a
very
safe
place
to
take
blocks
so
the
first
week
I
remember
what
I
did
was
just
around
6
o'clock.
I
would
go
and
take
a
walk
around
the
block
and
to
me
was
like
walking
around
some
sort
of
paradise.
Cuz.
It
was
just
so
pretty.
B
Was
definitely
scared
to
go
outside
and
I
just
stayed
home
all
day
and
Oh
since
tough
times
like
different
in
well
here's
night
and
day
over
there.
So
we
kind
of
slept
all
day
because
we
weren't
used
to
the
timing.
In
the
whole
week,
I
was
just
inside
the
house.
There
wasn't
much
activities
going
back,
I.
C
D
E
F
Came
here
because
there
was
a
war
in
my
country,
so
I
a
lot
of
horrible
things.
I
saw
my
friend
got
her
hand,
cut
off
and
I
was
supposed
to
be
next.
But
I
was
unlucky
because
I
got
my
dad
to
take
me
out
of
that
and
I
lived
in
a
refugee
camp
refugee
camp
for
about
a
year,
and
then
my
mother
was
taken
away.
So
she
she
found
a
way
to
come
to
this
country.
G
H
I
guess
what
I
miss
the
most
about
Ethiopia
would
be.
The
a
lot
of
the
things
are
down
there.
It's
it's
a
cultural
aspect
of
it.
It's
here,
it's
I!
Guess
it's
more
individualistic,
meaning
you
know
it's.
You
you're
doing
your
own
thing
and
then
there's
family
there.
It's
it's
a
lot
more
communal.
It's
a
lot
more
interaction
with
different
family
members,
friends
and
just
the
whole
I
guess:
I
see
it
more
as
organic
living
and
it's
it's
really.
E
F
D
They're,
like
religion
is
the
big
thing
that
people
used
to
see.
My
hair
is
like,
if
you
are
any,
and
if
you're,
Muslim,
Sikh
or
Hindu
they're,
not
gonna,
say
that
why
you're
this
or
why
your
dad?
So
they
don't
see
like
religion
here
much.
They
just
judge
people
by
their
by
their
mind
and
how
they
are.
G
H
I'm
definitely
there
were
a
lot
of
adults
that
that
were
there.
For
me,
one
particular
I
really
remember
was
up
I
guess
he
a
guy
named
John
at
the
mat,
the
library
right
across
Kenmore,
middle
school
and
I.
Remember
once
I
went
with
friends
to
go,
get
some
DVDs
I
think
and
we
went
down
there
and
that
day
I
met
him
and
he
said
hi
my
name
is
John
and
he
he
talked
to
me
who
I
asked
me
who
I
was,
and
we
talked
a
little
bit
and
he
he
introduced
me
to
just
really.
H
You
know
amazing,
amazing,
books,
I
guess
amazing
things
that
I
never
thought
I'd
be
interested
in
at
that
time,
and
he
really
I
guess
understood
my
sense
of
urgency
to
to
one
understand
things,
and
he
really
really
fostered
that
side
of
me
and
I.
I
really
think
he
was
a
really
big,
influential
part
of
my
family.
My
life
in.
A
The
librarians
were
very
nice,
they
would
always
be
like.
Are
you
interested
in
any
particular
subject?
It
was
like
well,
I
have
a
project
about
animals
and
they're
like
what
animal
and
I
was
like,
oh
equals,
and
they
they
went
and
brought
me
pile
of
books
that
were
just
about
egos,
but
they
weren't,
like
you,
know
those
like
fat
ox
for
like
books.
They
were,
like
you
know,
books,
so
they
were
manageable,
I
could
read
them
and
I
could
understand
them.
A
A
My
reading
and
my
writing
improved
because
I
just
spent
all
of
my
afternoons
in
the
library
and
so
did
my
sisters.
So
whenever
I
go
to
the
library
which
is
gonna,
get
destroyed,
Westover
library,
it's
it's
like
I'm,
going
I'm
going
home
I'm
like
I,
know
the
people
there
I
got
my
first
job
there
actually
and
I.
Don't
know
like
I
feel
a
very
special
bond
with
the
library
because
it
was
a
place
of
support,
a
place
where
I
can
go,
explore
and
be
safe.
When
I
was
exploring
and.
A
C
Like
mr.
sample
he's
I
think
a
counselor
in
our
school.
He
helped
me
a
lot,
so
you,
like
my
dad
in
the
school,
he's,
always
checking
my
grades.
Saving
me
to
field
trips
and
other
people,
of
course,
and
he's
a
bear
for
me
and
it
makes
me
feel
good.
You
know
like
to
have
someone
there
who
cared
for
me
beside
I,
home
and
and
there's
another
person,
miss
joy,
she's,
awesome,
I
feel
like
I.
C
She
cares
about
it.
Like
me
and
my
friends,
she's
always
chicken
I
gave
also
taking
us
to
field
trips
and
I,
don't
know
giving
this
voice
advice
and
yeah
and
I
know
someone
else
who's.
My
eighth
grade,
counselor
he's
wait
wow,
it's
like
she
was
awesome.
Cuz
I,
remember
in
fifth
grade
through
my
middle
school
years,
I
used
to
get
in
trouble
and
she
was
there
for
me,
and
you
know
she
calmed
me
down
and
I
learn
a
lot
of
things
and
oh
yeah,
I
loved
them
all.
B
E
Oh,
my
advice
for
them
would
be
to
turn
be
afraid
because
effort
the
hardest
part
of
learning
English
is
that
you
don't
want
to
say
what
you
want
to
say,
because
she
might
think
that
you're
gonna
say
it
wrong,
and
people
won't
get
you.
But
if,
if
you,
if
you
don't
say
it
anyhow,
you're
not
gonna,
learn
because
of
the
hardest
part
for
many
of
my
classmates
speaking
English,
because
they're
afraid
they
will
say
it
wrong.
I
would.
F
Say
accept
change,
don't
don't
all
feel
insecure
about
yourself.
Make
sure
that
what
you
do
is
what
is
best
for
you
and
always
make
sure
that
you
have
your
family
close,
close
and
heart
and
speak
to
as
many
people
as
you
have
to
for
you
to
feel
comfortable,
because
if
you're
not
comfortable,
then
you're
not
gonna,
be
successful
in
this
country.
