AFRICA | AMERICAN STORIES: IDENTITY AND DREAMS

Personal History

I come from a beautiful country. A beautiful family. My country is beautiful with its trees, fruits, and vegetables. My family is charming. My country has loads of flowers. I come from a brave family. I can prove that because in 1988 when I was 3 years old the buildings were moving and falling. I come from a family that is fearless. I come from a country that has many languages. It was once as beautiful as the sky with many, many rivers. I come from a country that is at war. Tigran A., Hamilton Elementary
