The most important thing in my culture are new special clothes called “Bamako” and that is the most beautiful gift ever. My mother gave new clothes to me and my brothers and sisters every year, because it reminds me to not forget them. When I was leaving my country she gave it to me. The most important thing in my life is to have a better education. My first time in the USA I was 10 years old. I came with my older brother in the same airplane. I moved to New York because I wanted to have a better education in New York. I was living with my Auntie. My Aunt  bought me more clothes because it was cold. She sent me to school to learn how to speak English.
