The author is talking about how her family was poor. Mentioning the fact that they moved from houses to houses constantly. I relate this story on the first time I came to America. Settling in America is not any easy thing as you can imagine. The first house my family settled in was an apartment in downtown Fredericksburg. It was not easy living on that side of the city. For one my dad didn't have a well paying job. The rent payment was always coming hard on us for the first few months. The apartment we lived in didn't have a big backyard. My brothers and I didn't like it because we didn't have enough room to kick the soccer ball around. Also just like in her story I had to share a room with my older brother. Even though I was quite fascinated by the american way of life. I still wished we had a bigger house with a nice backyard. Finally after spending five months there, my family decided to rent a home in Stafford County. We all were very excited when all heard this news. The new house had a huge backyard to play soccer
in.Living in that house was like a dream come true. The house reminded me of the amazing houses I saw in Television shows. I was really excited to start life in America. All hope now is that stay in this new house.
