To be an immigrant means everything is different. In America I have freedom. I came to America because I want a future. My future will have a good education, freedom and success. I am looking for the freedom. Because a long time ago I did not have freedom, I could not do anything I wanted. So, I needed freedom. Now, I live in America.

America is a free country. I love my life because I have freedom. I can do anything if I want.  Good education if We are studious. Everyone who is students must have read the book and do homework at home. I want became a good student. I think I can. I will have success. I need to learn every day. I am new to America.  Everything feels very hard to me. I want to become a good student. I will talk with everybody in America. I will learn English. I must have an education.  My future will be full because I will have a good education, freedom and the success that goes with that. My future will be in America.  Now, I am free in America. To be an immigrant means everything is different, thanks be to God.
