You may have heard of the famous saying,...

You may have heard of the famous saying, East or west, home is the best.

What does the word home mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. Its not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. Its the cooking ,eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, theres a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it, In the south, where the sun shines a lot and its more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

When I arrived in the US, I felt very sad because life in the US was different from life in my country. My first day of school was at Takoma Park Middle School in March last year. I was very nervous in that morning and I didn’t want to get up. When I went to my first class, I didn’t know what to do because I didnt know what the teacher said. But there were many people who spoke the same language as me, while some of them were laughing at me, because they came before me and they understood the language better than me.

But there were three girls who helped me. Their names are Maryori, Jezabel and Beverly. As the days passed, I had some new friends and Beverly became my best friend. She always helped me with my study.

Three months later, the school year ended and I had to come to Blair High School. On my first day of school at Blair, I felt it was different from my first day in middle school because it was a beginning of a new school year and there were many new students. I felt better because I knew that I wasnt the only new student.

That day I met new friends. For some of them it was their first time at school in the US, so I tried to help them because I knew how new students feel when they go to a new school.

Dear Sally,

I am eager to tell you how I miss you at the moment. I never realized the value if a          until I lost a loved person,         was very dear to me.
