I began to grow up when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house that winter night, and
my mother said that we would soon leave for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I cried because I could not bear the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again. I also had to say goodbye to my dear friends and
relatives. I thought about the new country I was going to see-the strange place I had known only from
books and pictures.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come
to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost-having to study in three schools
because of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and
things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers(移民局官员), took my
grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company
representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last!
Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe
that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
