                                                                Coming to America


     I was in my home when my mother told me to come to USA. It's was at afternoon when I back from school. She was told me with cellphone because she and my brother already in USA. When she call me, I'm not doing anything. I just play with my phone in my room with my uniform still in my body. My mother told me to come to USA with my aunt and uncle. But it was uncertain, because my uncle don't told me yet. Two weeks after my mom call me, my uncle call me and he says "Next month we will go to the United Sates. Your ticket has been purchased, and you have to come one week before we departed". Because my uncle lived away from my house. It was needed a plane to go there. After that I called my mother to be sure, and my mom say yes. But i knew I would come to United States just for holidays. But one week after that my mom told me to stay in USA. And I was so confused, because I just like to school in my country and I don't know speak English too. But my mom says"Try first. If you can not, you can back to Indonesia".
     After that I told to my friends and my family that I would go to America. My friends so sad when I tell that to them. I am so sad too, because my friends are someone who always with me and make me feel happy when I was sad.And they more sad when they know I'm gonna stay here for a couple years and I don't know when I'm gonna back.
     A week before I go to my uncle house, me, my family and my friends  go to spend time together. My friends and me go to some place that quite far from where I life. We need two hours to get there. On the way my friend fell asleep and I took a photo of her and it was so funny. But until now she don't know about that. When we've got there, me and my friends go to a mall and after that we go to eat. After we eat, we just saw a look around and we go home. One day before I go to my uncle house, my family and my friends gather at my home and we eat together. We spend our time and have fun together.
     When I go to my uncle's house I'm don't bring all of my stuff. I just bring what I need and I did not bring my old clothes. And some of my shoes I give to my cousin because my suitcase will not fit anymore.
     Before I come to United States I have to buy my Mom order. That is a typical food of my residence. And my family order that too. So before I come I must buy that first.
     I left my home to my cousin. She is a woman and she already has a husband and one son. I  often call her but I must wait until they wake up. Because, the time in USA is different with the time in my country.
     I came to the United States on June-11-2015. I must wake up at 04:30 am because from my uncle house to the airport is need one and a half  hours. I wake up and I take a bath and and we go to the airport on 05:00 am. We go to the airport with two cars. The one is my uncle's car and the one is my cousin's car. We arrived at the airport at six thirty. And after my uncle, my aunt and me go into the airport my cousins and her children go back to the home. Before we get into the plane, we get breakfast which has prepared the airport. The plane took off approximately at 09:00 am. We went from Jakarta, Indonesia to Seoul, Korea. That is need seven hours to arrive on Seoul. We have two hours of transit. We just looking around in Korea. And it's time to travel again. From Korea we need  14 hours to arrive in the USA. I just sleep maybe  three hours in the airplane because that was noisy and when I already sleepy that is time for the airplane to landing. We arrived in America at 09:00 pm, the airplane is landing on JFK International Airport, New York.
     The person who picked us up from the airport is my mom, my brother, my uncle ,my aunt, and my cousin. I go to my uncle's house with my mother and my brother. My uncle's house is in New Jersey, but we do not directly to house, we stop in Manhattan New York. It was the first place I visited in America. From New York we directly to my uncle's house. Once we arrived at my uncle's house we clearing goods and sleep. That is my first night in USA.
