I had to take a bus every morning from Monday to Saturday. At that time I felt sad because I didn’t have any pants, only skirts.I didn’t like the weather. I decided to stay because I needed to make more money to send home. Now I feel okay about the weather. like snow. Everyone says, “What ?!” I came to the U.S.A and when I saw snow for the first time in Washington, DC, I was very excited. I am from Bangladesh and I had never seen snow. Snow makes everywhere white. It looks very beautiful. I like that. My son also likes snow very much. Last year, there were many snow days and no school for my son and me. We played together in the snow and took pictures. I posted my snow pictures on Facebook. My son enjoyed the snow very much. He made snowballs and a snowman. A collection of student art and writing 27
