How I Came to America Part 1

I am originally from Ukraine. When I came to America, I was 9 years old. I never thought that I would end up here. In fact when I had English class in school, I would always say that I will never use English in my life. I was obviously wrong.

When I found out I was moving to America, I was super excited. I remember myself jumping up and down, and running around my apartment. But once I knew I was coming here, things had to change. I had to go to a tutor every week who would help me learn English faster. I had to spend as much time as I could with my friends and family. But the most important thing was enjoying my time in Ukraine.

The last days that I had in Ukraine passed and on September 9th my family and I headed to the airport. We said goodbye to my uncle who drove us to the airport, and then we checked in for our flight.
