The Lion's Pride vol. 1 (Fall 2013) | Page 15

12 that time I was 11 years old. I did not know English at all. I started to study hard day by day, and then a few years later, I could read and write plus speak some English, too, but I was still not fluent in English yet. I graduated from Juanita High School in 1990, and then I got married three months later. Now, I have children and a nice family, too. As a young girl, I always dreamed about becoming a dancer, singer, and an actress, but unlucky for me, I did not look pretty enough. I am short and skinny. My dream did not come true. I wish in the next life that I could be reborn again, and I would like to look like the prettiest woman, so I could become a movie star. Now, I am so proud of my life that has been changed, since I have lived in the United States. I have enjoyed my life here so much. TOC
