One object that represents my immigration experience is my mom’s suitcase. It is the color of a jaguar. It is  very big.  My mom used it to bring special objects from the Dominican Republic. She brought clothes and other things.The suitcase comes from Santo Domingo. I was in the airport america. The date was October 30, 2018. I was with the suitcase, all the time and I was loading the suitcase. My mom, my stepbrother and my sister were there with me. We were flying because I needed to come to the USA. My mom is the owner. My mom’s suitcase connects to my immigration experience because I can bring my objects of my old country to remember my family. Maybe others can remember about their countries, too.
