I would like to tell you about my life
when I was in my country of Guinea
before I came to the United States
of America. I couldn’t understand
or speak English well but now I am
learning to speak it. My listening and
vocabulary were very bad but now
they are acceptable. In Guinea, I
used to drive my car but now I can’t
because I don’t have a license. I often
went to the public market but now

I can’t. I could visit my family every
weekend but now I can’t. I also used
to work in my garden and I could
organize the family meeting but now
I can’t. I didn’t know many things but
I know now and I really see the differ-
ence between my life in my country
and my life in the United States.
