I moved here with my sister from Latvian when I was 12 and my little sister was 5 years old. My sister had a lot of toys with her that she brought to America, but I only took a family album with me and some other things, but that was the important thing that I wanted to take with me. The pictures that I took were the pictures that my mother gave me. Every single time its Christmas or any other holiday I would go in m room and I would look at all the pictures. I also look at these pictures when I'm upset because the pictures make me happy and its the memories that I made with my family. This photo album is very important to me because I can always look at the pictures and see the memories I made when I was little.
