My Life in Three Different Countries
By: Salwae Sheen

My first country is Burma ( a country in southeast Asia ). I was born in Burma and I grew up and spent my childhood in Burma. first I had a peaceful life in my beautiful village surrounded by fields and forest before Burmese troops attacked my village. we had a house and farms. Every day I went to school and played. I had to leave Burma when I was ten years old because of the civil war.
Then, I moved to Thailand lived in a refugee camp. I spent 18 years of my life in a refugee camp in Thailand. I completed grade ten in the camp but I didn't have a chance to go to college or university. We were supported with food and housing but we were fenced in with a barbed-wire fence and we didn't have freedom to go out of the camp.
On May 2008 I came to the U.S for my children's destinie and also for me to get a better job and freedom. It is a big and developed country and every thing is new for me. I face many different problems such as language and how to get a job. The biggest problem for me is to find a job in the U.S.

story about My best school memory.
My memory When I was a child.I went to school everyday with my younger sisters and my friend too.My school was very big and tall.And we had many students and many teachers.
And they taught us.So they were ferindly and they were happy at our school.
But we had two headmasters one man and one woman.So they were good to the students.
Everyday they taught about reading,writing,listening and speaking.Because we had 8 subjects.
the subjects are karen,burma,thain,math,geography,science,history and environment.so very different.
for students.But my favorite subjects are English,thain,math and geography.
We had 65 teachers some old and some young.But but they werw good and friendly.

My First Day of School in My Country

Most of the people go to school for their life goal. Some are happy to go to school but some are not. Everybody who goes to school has different feelings and they may feel their first day of school experience is exciting and they may make a mistake.
When I went to college in my country, my first day of school made me happy and excited. My college is established in the capital of my state and very far from my native town. So I had to stay in the capital city and rent the dormitory to be able to go to school. I left my town and that city was very strange for me. On the first day of school, I didn't have any friends and I didn't know where my class was. So I was very afraid to be late for the class. I felt alone and I asked the girl who stayed in my dormitory how to go to school. And then, we introduced ourselves. She was my first friend. She was very kind to me. I went to school together with her. The class started at 9:00 am. The teacher asked the students to introduce one another. The teacher also introduced herself.
I made many friends that day. All were charming and friendly. I visited around the school with my friends. I felt happy and excited in the first day of school. I always remember my friends and that school. I studied that school for three years and learned the computer technology. I was really happy when I studied there in my life.

About my mother
All people love their mother but some people can't see their mother. Not only humen and animals, but also all trees have a mother.In my impression all mother love their children.
My mother loves me very much because I am the only son in my family. My mother is a good housewife for my father and my family. She does the shopping,cooking,ironing and housework. She is a good cook. She is very kind to everyone. In our childhood my mother
taught English and Math. She is a good teacher for me. My father is a shopkeeper, so she also helps my father. She is not only tidy but also disciplined. In my childhood she taught me how to save money, how to speak with people who were older than me, and so on. And she helped other neighbours, if they have some problems. All our neighbours love her very much. Now she lives in Burma. I remember my mother very much.
In my impression all people also love their mother very much.
