The Extraodinary Young Lady
She was only four when she heard Mi Gook and believes it is heaven she was a little innocence child who didn’t heard many thing in her live. She is smart lady the impression toward her explanation by being only four years old with so many memories fill in her mind until this moment. The United State it is the land of promise of freedom, justice, egalitarianism opportunity, and hope. Many people believe that USA it is the best place to live in the world because there is reason for that, every person is talking about USA. When I was coming this country I thought every thing will be easy for me because nobody told the true all the people I met was telling me the good things but not the bad things . As Young ju thought that USA is a heaven every person in the world believes similar anticipation.
When I was coming to this country I was a grown women who can imagine her expectation but Young ju was only four and her case is different for anybody else she knows only her little home, hen , and her friend ju Mi. Although my families were happy because they believes that I will be rich soon and get well education. While Young ju was a young kid who don’t understand the true and she thought USA is heaven because her grandpa told her that god lives in the sky and she amused that when she fly in the sky she will meet her grandpa and the angles. Although many people believes that USA is the best place to live in the world but many don’t understand the veracity. When I was coming to the USA I was happy then ever before in my whole live, I prayed a lot to thanks Allah but when I arrived in the port of Columbus I astonished what I saw on my way to home I saw on the street light hang on wire I never saw these thing in my whole live.
When I was in my country I always watching American movies it was different today what I see in my own two eyes. When I was coming to USA I was willing to have better life and good career but all that has been change. While Young ju was imagining she will see her grandpa in the heaven because she thought Mi Gook is paradise. I always told my self the past is past and the present is present but the future is the best. I always feel depression I feel alone, where ever I go it is me and my soul . As the months were past the pain was growing to me, I realizes how much family meant to me each day to me live without family is too painful to live. I thought I will be rich when I go to USA but that never happen and the life is struggle to me pay check to pay check day in and day out it is another problem always never solve, the expensive rent, insurance, utility, and the other expesvive always waiting for us.
When i was my country I never think about money but now itis entirely different, my expectation which based on imagination and dream and the dream never comes true.However, the Young ju was only four who can't tell bad from the good thing.
