I come from a beautiful country
I come from a beautiful country
Half of the people in my home island
They are poor just like me
My last day in my home island was 3 days after my
Birthday, when I came to the mainland I felt sad because I left my island
I feel Happy, and Sad
I cry and feel
Weird
My first day of school I felt sad because In that time I didn’t even know the language
The people were mean to me because they thought I came from another country.
