MY New Home

I came from Kenya to live here with my mom in Canada. When I came to Canada I did not know where I lived. I found it hard to play here because of my skin color, and I did not speak English. My first day in school was hard , but I had two best friends named Mia and Isla that helped me through the day. I was very lucky to have an amazing teacher who was very understanding! I went to ESL to learn English.I left ESL within a month because I knew a little bit of English.Then I switched schools to come to RH. When I came here I met 2 people named Bilen and Binu. I played with them for 3 days until I found a girl named Arsema.She became my best friend forever. I played with her every day.I still remember Mia and isla. We still chat sometimes and they are still my best friends. Thank you so much home for humanity!
