Messi
15 From Uzbekistan

I born in December 12 1999 in Samarqand, Uzbekistan. I lived with my family and my uncle. We are 5 people in my family. I have one brother he is 12 years old, i have one sister she is 4 years old and me 15 years old and my dad and my mom. Me and my brother have a lot of common. For example I like to play soccer and my brother likes to play soccer also we like the same soccer team. I like the color red and blue in the same way my brother likes the color blue and red. He wants to be police officer and save people from bad people when he grows up. We almost like the same foods too.
We lived in a big house. Our house located in the west side of the Samarkand. Our house made out of hard and strong bricks. In our house we have ten rooms and one garage. We have two big entry door. I shared my room with my brother. We have 5 beds in my country. One for parents, me, my brother and my uncle. Also we had a store. We sell that things that can be eaten like foods.
I was 5th grade in my country before we come to United States. Our school was big. Our school was different from American school. We did not have to change schools like elementary school and high school and middle school all of the schools were in one school. However we had security guards like in United States. Our teachers us only boards not smart boards because boards saves electricity.
One sunny day when I came home with my brother I was very tired and thirsty. After entering our house I went to kitchen and took some cold water in side of the refrigerator. I sit on them sofa and drink water while watching T.V. And after 10 min my dad came next to me and tell everyone to come next to him. He said he have something to tell us. He said “ Today I played green card.” “And we have chance to go to America.” My dad said. Everyone was in shock. I did not know how to feel happy or sad.  
       1 month later, One man called and told us that we won the green card thing. Everyone were happy to explore the new country and learn new language. On the other hand my uncle was sad because we are leaving him with his family. Also I was sad to leave my friends and my neighbours and teachers. So we went to to doctor to take  shots. That time i got 8 shots. And we fix our documents  and packed our things and say good bye to everyone. We went to airport in Tashkent and fly to united states in airplane first we went to Riga in Latvia and after 3 hours we fly again to United States. After 18 hours of fly we landed to international airport.
In the united states we live in the six floor building in brooklyn new york. Our home in u.s is not big like our home in Uzbekistan. I still share my room with my brother. We have two separate beds one window with heater under it and T.V. The walls are white and our T.V is black and it is SONY. Also it shows HD quality. In U.S I don’t have things that much. I use to have one big dog to take care of. In my country but not thing here in usa to do except  a lot of  homework to do.
