My First Day in The United States

I came to the U.S. 15 years ago. I never forget my first day. I felt scared. I saw my family and friends. We went to my mother house. I was so happy; my Mother was cooking El Salvadorian food. We were talking all day. My mother wanted to know about her family and friends. I felt scared because it was my first time in the U.S. I didn’t speak English very well, but I felt excited too. I could not sleep that night. I was so happy to be here. I have been living here in the U.S. for 15 years and I still miss my family and friends. I like it here, I will not move back to my country.
