Affected by my family, my background and everything around me, I was born into a family that is the first generation to arrive here. My grandmother and parents, along with other family members, moved here in search of better opportunities, as did those from other countries for the same idea. They started again but had difficulty getting started. When I was little, I thought it must be a bit easy, but for people who don't know English, it's like starting from scratch, but they did well, they did it.When i was a child i thought every family would be the same, just an average family like mine and yours. My life as a child was a carefree life, I didn't care about much, other than things like doctors or the dentist, I pretty much did what an average kid did, I thought we had a good life. When I went to visit my classmates or met their families, they seemed average to me. I never imagined that our family would have problems in the world, I was wrong. My parents told me they had a good life in China, where they grew up, my father told me they had a pretty good life. life goes on there. Why they came here is beyond my understanding, my father told me they had a pretty good income there and life was good. Why they came here perplexed me and made me think, so I asked, they gave me vague answers, but one of the reasons was that my parents were having their first child, which was my big sister. In China, there is this policy, the one-child policy, only one child, it's because China is overpopulated. Additionally, boys were more favored than girls. If they only had one sister, I wouldn't have been born today, nor my little brother. Later I discovered that it was a good reason to come here, to find opportunities. As I grew up, between the transition from a child to a teenager, I learned more about my family, their culture and background, and even a story about how they came to the United States in the first place. Back home my parents definitely aren't home long and every day we weren't there.
