New Country For Us
By Samuel Hi, I am Samuel and I am 15 years old. We came to Canada on May 1st, 2008. Canada is a new country for us. At the beginning we had no friends. Friends are really important. Poem for Friends
You may not have ever seen
me.
But you know that I am here.
You can feel me in your heart
As you enter each new day.
I will always be there for you
I am your friend
Someone to share the good
times
as well as the bad. In Canada it is very cold. I don’t really like cold, but it’s better than hot. In India the summer is too hot and long. I am sure that Canada is better than India. When we were in India we were poor. We lived in only one room, which is smaller than our kitchen in Canada. For drinking water we needed to get it from far from our home. I always pray to God that somebody would sponsor us, and we can go to another country to live a better life. In India we couldn’t go to school; this was the biggest problem because we did not have enough money to pay for fees. That’s why I always pray to God that we can go to another country to go to school and live a happy life. Luckily somebody did sponsor us. When we heard the news we were too happy. Then we came here to Canada. It was a weird country. Our families and sponsors were waiting for us in the airport. When we met them we were happy, shook hands and went to our home. We ate dinner and went to bed. The time came to go to school. We were nervous, but we had to go to school, that’s why we came here. It was hard to go to school because first we could not speak English, second we didn’t have any friends and third we couldn’t understand what the teachers were explaining. Later we kind of understood. We miss India because we have many friends and family there. One thing, before we came to Canada we didn’t know that we would have family in Canada, but as I say, they were waiting for us in the airport. We were happy to see our family again. Poem for Families
Families are a precious thing
Through the year of laughter,
love and tears
If you have a family
You are a lucky person
Without family what are we
If we don’t have mom, dad or
bro, and sis
How will you feel?
