As I stepped outside of the car‚ I realized how nice of a day it was. It was not the hottest day of the summer.

Around four months ago‚ my parents‚ sister‚ and I became U.S citizens. When I ascertained that I had become a citizen‚ I recalled a few memories from my first day in the U.S until April 2017. The event that popped out most in my memory was my first day of school in this country. I remember the time when I woke up on this chilly day of February 2012 and started to shiver as I got out of my bed. The weather of Edison was way colder than I had ever experienced in my life.

I had no prior sports skills because I had never played any before this one. The day I walked into the facility for the first time I knew it was just my first day of softball‚ but what I did not know was that it was the first day I would shape my personality and discover my priorities.

The Birth of My Baby Sister "Congratulations on your new baby sister!" The young female nurse said with such enthusiasm that it made me smile with joy. Waking up this morning was like any other day.
