About Me
By Teresa Gutierrez
My Country
By Maria De Castro
I am from El Salvador. El Salvador is a beautiful place. It has beach,
rivers, and lakes. The weather is hot
and warm. We have many traditions.
For example every year on September
15 we celebrate Independence Day.
We celebrate New Year‟s Day. We eat
tamales, chicken, and sandwiches with
our families. El Salvador has parks,
malls, pools, and it has big families.
The families have many dogs, chickens,
cats, and horses.

I have lived in the
United States for
twenty seven years.
I have two daughters. My daughters‟
names are Mayra and
Jessica. Mayra is
twenty one years old
and Jessica is seventeen years old. My daughters were
born in Washington, DC. Mayra my
oldest daughter goes to college. She
is studying psychology and Jessica
my youngest daughter graduated
from high school. I am very happy
because I have two very good daughters. I complete part of my American dream. I like to dance, and I
dance very well the cumbia, merengue, and pasito duranguense. My
mom is 78 years old. She likes to
dance also. I like make up, lipstick,
and very nice dresses. I like to look
very nice. I miss my country. When
I am 65 years old I want to go back
to El Salvador because it is a very
nice country. However, I will never
forget this country because it gave
many opportunities for me and my
family.
