My Mother

My mother‘s name was Nuriah and she was born in Iraq on January 7, 1934. She didn’t learn in school because at that time there were a few schools in my city, but she learned in life‘s school to become a good mother and how to love other people and she taught me that. My mother carried all the love in the world in her heart. She was very quiet and she was good at cooking. My mother had 11 children. I was the second child. I remember when I got a sick, she stayed up all night holding me tight. So who should I take good care of, giving all my love, who should I thank the most? My mother! Because who used to hear me before I could talk, who used to hold me before I could walk and when I fell who picked me up, cleaned my cut? No one but my mother because who used to hug me and buy me new clothes, comb my hair, blow my nose and when I cried who wiped my tears, knew my fears, who really cared…my mother!

She always told me to respect people so that people would respect me. My mother loves flowers, especially red roses. When I worked and had problems, she always encouraged me by saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here with you”. When I did something good in school or at home, my mother rewarded me by letting me play in the park and giving me money for a soda and chips. When I did something bad in school or at home, my mother punished me by not letting me go outside for two or three days. And sometimes my mother took her shoes and hit me with them. I will remember my mother because she always gave me permission to play in the park and at houses of friends. When I need my mother, she is always near me. I love my mother.

The best gift is my health. My God gave it to me. It is a special gift because without health you couldn`t do anything in your life, so I thank my God every moment. He gave me two eyes to see beautiful things in the world and to read good stories so I can understand everything in life. He also gave me two ears to hear the sounds. He gave me a nose and gave me hands and legs and a heart and many other things I cannot count. Each one of these works differently. Do you agree with me that it is a really special gift?

Tatyana

My house is in Russia. I liked my house when I was a child very much. My house had five rooms: one bedroom for my parents, one bedroom for my brothers, one bedroom for my sisters and me and a big living room and family room. My house had a big yard and garden. There were many apple, cherry, green pear trees, raspberry plants and vines with red and green grapes. There were also many vegetables and flowers. My house had a big driveway. I like my house because I was born there.

Personal Memories

My real name is Rosalba. I have a long story to tell. It was a mistake and it is very funny. My mother’s friend picked my name but the problem is she never knew who family was. We had one girl with the name Rosa. She is older. In my country, Mexico, it is very popular for a best friend from the mother’s side to pick a baby’s name. We don’t have a choice. After that, father, mother and friend go together to the church and the pastor covers the baby with clothes and signs papers. They go home to have a party for friends. I use Rosa only for my middle name because the truth is my real name is Rosalba. The problem is everybody calls me Rosa. I don’t have any problem with this but I don’t like it and I don’t have any idea what my name means.

Personal Memories

I remember my favorite piece of clothing when I was a child because it was funny. My mother went shopping in the city. My mother gave me a pair of shorts. The shorts were nice and comfortable. I remember they had stripes and squares of different colors. I remember wearing them all the time because they were my favorite shorts. When I got older the shorts didn’t fit me as well as they used to. So, I stopped wearing them.

Africa

One day Pete and Ann saved money to go to Africa. They took a flight from South America to Africa. Suddenly they heard a flop. The airplane broke in the desert Pete and Ann came out and looked for anyone to fix the plane. Ann was crying. They didn’t know what to do. They walked, ran and jogged to the hill. They sat down and called for help. A man came and said, “I will take you home, but you need to pay me 5 million dollars. If you don’t pay me I won’t take you home.” They said, “Take us and we will pay you when we get home.”
