And what did it take you to get to America?
We took to a plane, so like 13 hours.
Do you like any American foods? if so, what are they?
If you consider, like, a burger, American food, yeah, a burger.
Were you excited about anything in America when you when you moved?
The first time that I saw snow. There's not, like, a lot of snow back in Ethiopia. So yeah, that was like exciting.
How different is America compared to a country you lived in before you moved?
Here, there's like, it's like, more connected. And people, you get to meet them. Like whenever you want. But there, it’s just like a lot of people have, they have to like work, and they have to get by. So, you don't have a lot of free time to do other things.
