immigration anniversary

Today is the anniversary of my family's immigration to the U.S. We came on February 2nd, 1979, about two months after I was born. My parents always know how long they've been here because it's how old I am.

I like my family and don't mind living with them. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, either. It's not the norm in the U.S. to live with your family after 18, but it is in plenty of other countries.

It took me a long time to come to terms with living in NJ with my family, but I have learned to focus on all the positives of situation. Now, I think, I even prefer it. The people who disapprove or think it is weird are annoying and wrong.
