If I stay[ed] in Russia, I would have too many kids, like happen to my mom. Go to be taken away by Government

 

Emily Simmons in Russia at 15


 


First time I went a movie Amarican family in Russia. I eat popcorn and also got first time a soda.


 


In Russia I pick up potatoes on the ground with my friends.


 


Also we went to New York and I got hat. We went to eat like circle around restaurant and it is amazing.


 


In Russai we have food like bleni and pelogy. (Blini are Russian crepe-like pancakes and pierogies are potato dumplings. have meat in Amarica. It’s different because Amarica. In Russia have restaurants but in Amarica have more restaurants than Russia.


 


There they have subway in the ground. Tramway is train that goes other places. Sometimes went with my friends to subway and we sleep over. My bad life I had in Russia. My dad lazy in Russia because he never do any work in Russia.


 


But I met my mom and dad when I came to Amarica. First time I met my dad when he came to orphinige with Grandpa and then I meet them.


 


My experiences about my life; some orphinige kids like girls, turn sixteen years old then government kick out and be prostitute and probably you die.


 


I am glad that I came to Amarica because my life going to be good. But my favorite to do in Russia watch Bollywood. And kids in the orphinige we watch pornography and that not OK.


 


But I run away all the time and have lots bad behaviors. And I used to fight people. I remember that boy hit me in head with big rock and I got so scared about it.


 



 


I been big sister. I take care my sisters, bring to them water and food. We have little house. It’s hard in Russia get jobs.


 


We not have any holidays in the orphinige because orphinge government not have any money. in Russia, I would have too many kids, like happen to my mom. Go to be taken away by Government.


 


But now I am in the Amarica my life going to be more happy when I am making good choices because make me so happy if my life happy. I love to help kids have home and food.


 


Also we need help them all the time.


 


Some people from Russia don’t care about kid’s life or happiness. Because it’s not OK to kill or rape or drugs or drink or be also prostitute.


 


But my Amarican family love me as much as I love them. But kids need support and love all the time. My life is easy now with my family and program and friends. Also, I never give up on my family.


 


I been lots of places in Amarica. When I make bad choices and people been helping me a lot with choose rightly. I like when people been supporting me and they give me a nice advice because I like when I have a nice freedom because make me happy about it.
