my life

By Maria Figuereo

Hi my name is maria Alejandra figuereo. I am 12 years old and i was born in the Dominican republic.I was born in a little village called Vicente noble where people had to work hard to get a better future.My moms name is YENNIS ALTANIS REYES and my fathers name is ANTONIO FIGUEREO.My parents got separated when i was 6 months old.My mom decided to move to new york where my grandmother lived.When we moved my mom got a job at a chocolate factory with 2 of her friends and my aunt.The factory offered my mom a job in Spain and my mom accepted the job,i knew that my mom accepted the job for me.When my mom left my grandmother decided to send me back to DOMINICAN republic to start my education there.


Hernandez we became very good friends but when we went we passed to third grade we got split up.There i met my second best friend called Vicky Garcia we became good friends as well but when we passed to fourth grade we got split up,the teachers thought that i learned English better than Vicky so they send to a all English class.There i met the funnest teacher ever called ms. When i was 5 years old my grandmother went to DOMINICAN republic to go and pick me up to bring me back to NEW YORK.When we got back from DOMINICAN REPUBLIC my grandmother put me in a school called public school 90. there i had a very hard time because i didn't understand English at that time but soon i started get used to it until i got to first grade.I started to talk a little bit of English and it was funny because i talked the language very bad but i got the hang of it.when i was in second grade i had my first best friend called shakiramorales and the meanest teacher ms.Serrano.Me and shakira got back together in the same class but me and Vicky didn't.

When i passed to5Th grade i met ms.Horowitz and i met an lot of other kids but suddenly my behavior got a little out of hand i strated to behave really bad like screaming at the teacher and walking out of the class etc... but then i said to my self that i should'nt be like that.


Now i am in the 8th grade and my mom came back from Spain and i am very happy with my family and my teachers.
