Leaving Kenya
By Sumeyow Nur | From : Kansas City, MO | School : East High SchoolOn March 17,2016 I left Kenya. Before I left, I did many things. First, I went to say goodbye to my family, because I was going away from them. Second, I went out with my friends to have lunch. Third, I went shopping for some new clothes and other things. When I left my country, I felt very sad because I was leaving my family and my friends. I also felt very good because I was going to America and I had a lot of expectations.
My journey to America was very hard. It took two days to get to America. First, I flew from Kakuma to Nairobi. Next, we landed in Dubai at 4:00 pm and stayed there for about three hours. After that, we arrived in Texas airport at 3:00 pm the next day. Then, my aunt and my uncle came to pick us up from Texas airport. Finally, We arrived in Kansas City Missouri. During my journey to America, I felt scared because it was my first time to get on an airplane. Once we arrived in Kansas City, I felt very good because we finally reached our destination.

East high school is an amazing
Today, I feel excited about moving to America. I feel excited because I have a good life. I also feel pleasant because America has a better education and better life. I am grateful I moved to America.
