    English 10

    Mr. Horton

    October 7 2019

    ​A Twelve year old


    His name was Pouya. He was twelve years old and he was living with his mom and
    dad and his little sister. Pouya had a very normal and a basic life just like other kids and
    he was at 6 grade. He has always been dreaming about the imigration to the USA
    because his parents have been trying to immigrate to the USA for about 2 years. Pouya
    never thought about the problems that he could have faced if he comes to the USA and
    all he cared about was just to see the new culture and new people and just live in a new
    country with a new life.
    So finally after two years, his parents made it possible for him and his sister to come
    to the USA. After they flew, him and his family stayed in his dad's cousin's house for
    about two weeks. In those two weeks, Pouya got to see the people and how is
    everything working in the USA and how people are in there. His dad cousin gave him a
    lot of advice about the schools and how knowing english affects everything and if your
    english is not good, then you might face some big problems that you do not like to see.
    So that was when Pouya first realized that he has a lot to work on but he thought he can
    work on it and get over those problems very easily.
    After two weeks, him and his family moved to the state that they needed to live
    which was South Carolina. There was only a couple more weeks left until his school
    starts. He got to see his school and see how big it was compared to his last school in
    Iran. After a couple of weeks, school finally started. The funny thing was that his parents
    were more nervous than him but Pouya always tried to stay calm and not be nervous.
    As we all know, the first couple days, especially in middle school is more for knowing
    each other and getting more comfortable with the teachers and classes classmates. So
    the first thing that Pouya realized that is gonna take him a little bit of time because his
    english was not good enough to build connections with others. Then his history classes
    started with giving him big assignments and quiz over those subjects even though he
    did not even know what the subject was about. His english class started to read a new
    book which he had to always go home and review over that book hours and hours to
    understand the chapters and sometimes, he could not understand any chapters. He
    could not participate in his science class because he could not understand what was
    really going on. So with all of these things happening to him, he really sometimes felt
    like he could not handle these pressures.
    All of these problems was keep going on in his school career until he meet his
    ELD teacher which helped him extremely a lot for his classes and his grades. His ELD
    teachers name was Mrs. Hutchonson. For him, Mrs. hutchinson was not just a teacher
    for him, she was the only friend that Pouya had at that time and she was someone that
    Pouya could have actually share his thoughts with her. They practice on gramers so
    many times. They read a lot of books so Pouya can improve his skills of reading and
    writing. But even Mrs. Hutchinson was always telling him that, She could not be the only
    one that can help him to improve his english and his grades and if wants to be more
    successful, he needs to practice by himself a lot and ask any questions that he has from
    his teachers.
    The advice that she gave him, really impressed him and made him to work on
    himself a lot. He realized that he needs to talk with other people much more and not
    being shy so he can improve his talking skills. He started to go to classes that he
    needed help at lunch time and even stay after school sometimes. Some classes were
    still a little bit hard for him like history and english but the good thing was that he could
    understand better about what his teachers were talking about most of the time so he
    could do better at tests and assignments. And after a couple of months, he told himself
    that “ no matter what happens in life, I always need to be prepared for what is ahead of
    me and never give up no matter how hard it is.”
