Before coming to the United States, I went out with some of my friends. I remember that day. I had a great time, it was a very pleasant moment, I had fun and laughed a lot. They gave me some gifts because I couldn’t celebrate my birthday being with them, so we decided to celebrate it earlier. Among the gifts there was a stuffed animal and a bracelet, those were the only things I could bring with me when I moved to the United States. Every moment that I can see both things, I remember my friends, and how happy I was that day. Remembering the moments that I spent with my friends makes me very happy.
