Fir st Da I came to yi nT this country in his Co 2002. I am happy since un I came here. I can’t forget try when I arrived in Los Angeles. It was a big city and so different from my home town in Ethiopia. I didn’t see many people on the street because most people used their own car. In California many people can’t speak English. It was amazing for me, because most people were Mexican, and English was the second language in Los Angeles.
