TEMARI

That is the picture of my mom

For three days before I'm coming to this country,I can't eat .                                                                                       My mother is afraid I'm sick,and the Americans will turn us away turn us away when we get to New York so my mom decided to change to South Carolina but she still thinks that the Americans will turn us away,but my Grandmother said "don't worry:now that my Father has his American job,no one can turn us away.I thought that it was  just the excitement that takes my appetite and I knew that was the answer because I was so excited but in the same time scared because of my language and how was I gonna pronounce the English ,but then I took that out of my mind with all my other questions I had.But then my grandmother said that is the troubles you might see over there which is taking my appetite.For once my   祖母 (pronunciation sobo ,translation grandmother) is wrong about something:it is not the troubles and obstacles that are taking my appetite away it is the excitement and what if I don't know my  お父さん(pronunciation Otōsan translation father)when I see him at the airport. It's almost about one year since we are together with my father .The more I think about it ,the more I get worried. Finally, on the day we are leaving to South Carolina , I get so tired of worrying ,I eat a big bowl of delicious 寿司ロール (pronunciation sushi roru translation sushi roll) my grandmother makes for me . While I eat ,I think to myself:this is the last food I will eat in my country.

Our plane lands in the Charleston International airport in the middle of the night. I can feel how hot is in south carolina compared to  the kouri-shima .My skin felt sticky and wet .I close my eyes for a  momment and take a deep breath .I think to myself now I'm breathing American air .Even thought it is the middle of night the streets and then I see him and he is much thinner and wearing his  clothes from Japan.Now I know that it was silly to be so worried since he will be the one using clothes from Japan."ようこそ"(PRONOUNCINATION Yōkoso)my father shouts ,welcoming us ,and sweeps my mother and my sister up into his arms .We all said "こんにちは "(promoumcation Kon'nichiwa" to eachand hugging each other and telling him how much we missed him .We followed my father to the garage of the airport where he park his car that was a Audi.He told us that he worked as a restaurant worker but then change on doing carpentry and patios and garden designs stuff like that.We were all sad because he was trained to be a electrical engineer had to take a job that was sesh in dignity -not good enough for him ,but when I saw his car I knew that he was getting googd money and that made my father lucky since he has that job.

But when we went to our new home I saw that it was a house in the forest with a bunch of other houses but they look like small trailors but they were the shape of a rectangle and ours was blue butit had 4 rooms 3 bathrooms and a kithchen a small living room with the dining room and another living room but with a chimney so we were pretty happy on what we had me and my sister shared 1 bathroom and our room were close to each other but the bathroom was in the middle my dad his own bathroom but slept in my mom's room , my mom had her's a  room and her's own bathroom but her bathroom was the biggest one and my grandmother had her own room but she used my mom's bathroom .It was still summer days went by and I was getting ready for school ,my sister too which had came too but know she came back from Europe the same day and that is why she is here and she is in the third year of high school ,so we were getting ready but my dad and my sister helpedus since my sister went around france and decided to go to london and learned english so it was good that she came here because I think my dad will be busy because during the winter he does carpentry and during the summer he does the patio and building stuff indoors and outdoors .

The next day  my mom told my father to go to the grocery but he said "I must do things here right now"so my mom ask me and my sister and my sister said that she knows how to drive and wants to get her driver lincess and two days before we got here my sister delivered her car here and when we saw her car that had just arrived we saw that her car was a very expensive car and the best here in the US and it was a Mercedes-benz and she told us that she got in germany while she was beig a tourist ,so we went to a nearby store called walmart my sister once went as a tourist in a gold mine and she found some gold and she had euro so before we went thier my sister gother own bank account and traded her 3,000,000 million euoro for American dollars but she had a diffrent type of money the Euro was strange and the American money because she never seen a thing like that but then we went to walmart and bought all the ingridients we needed and my sister bought everything we need for school and home since we left some stuff in Japan and my sister brought everything she had to this country so we did .

My mom and grandmother cooked some food and I realized that when I was putting the things we bought in place there was dog food so I went outside and my sister said that she had a dog it wa fluffy and my dad was building a dog house and inside there was anoter one and my sister showed my something and my and her started making stairs since we had doors that were sliding doors and it had a lock and led outside  and it was in the living room with a chimney so now we were able to go by both ways we had like a bench in the front that was covered by a roof and you can see outside and then there was small stairs like the one her andher sister built but it was build by stone and then it touch the ground but I realized that one side had no dogs and the other side had dogs and we were on the side where they were dogs but I see many people living here it is a small town so for then we made a campfire outside and roasted things called marshmallows but first we ate food that tasted like the food in Japan and then I ate so fast because I wanted to know how did it taste so I ate my fruit salad  fast just like my sister did and it tasted so sweet and good that I ate one more time .
