Dear international friends.

My name is Ruth, I am 13 years old, and I study in the United States and my school is Glasgow Middle School. Something about me is that I have an older sister, she is in high school. My favorite colors are red, blue and black. and I was born on October 9. I am from Bolivia, I was not born in the United States.

I know what immigration means because my family and I left Bolivia when I was 10 years old and I remember a lot what it was like when we left and how we came to the United States and we came because we needed new opportunities for everyone and a better life and I understand people and I know how they feel when a person comes from their country to the United States or how they start to have a life in the United States and know what migration is.

I hope to meet you one day and I'm glad I shared my story.

Ruth

Dear international friend

Hello! I hope you are doing well.

My name is Brishna Sahim and I am 12 years old. My birthday is on July 26, 2012. I am in 7th grade. I am from Afghanistan. I have lived in the U.S.A for 3 years. I live with my mom and dad.

I really like reading books in my free time. I have just started painting, and I really enjoy doing it. I also like cooking for my family and in general. I have a lot of favorite foods and one of them is mantu, a dish from my country . I also love eating snacks and desserts. I also like spending time with my family and friends. Sometimes I just want to relax, be on my phone, and have alone time.

I immigrated to the United States of America three years ago. At first it was really hard for me to get used to a new country. I didn’t know English, and the culture, schools were really different. At first it was really hard for me to make friends, and school was really hard for me. From what I know about immigration, from personal experience and research, is that people immigrate because of better job opportunities, Education, War, better environment, etc. There are also challenges when immigrating. You go to a whole new country. It has a different language, culture, and you also have transportation problems.

I can’t wait to meet you! Best luck

Brishna Sahim

Dear Argentina students

My name is Perla Rivera I study in the U.S.A my school's name is

Glasgow Middle School and I am in 7th grade. I am 13 years old.

In my Family there are 4 members including me, my mom my dad my brother and me.

A little about myself is I like the Color purple I also like soccer,

using my phone and reading and writing. My favorite food is Pupusas and I like snacks.

Anyways even though I’m in the U.S.A I wasn't born here, I am actually from El Salvador,

when I was 6 we moved to the U.S.A so I understand what it feels to move to

another country.

What I know about immigration is that people travel to another place or country for some reasons like to search for work or economic opportunity, to join family, or to study. Others move to escape conflict, religious persecution or large-scale human rights violations.

My family and I moved to the U.S.A for better opportunity in life also for economic

purposes so in short immigrating is about moving to a new place or country to, not only get a better

experience, but also about getting better opportunities in life and starting a new

life with better things coming to life. Even though you know there will be obstacles, you

can achieve anything you put your mind to if you also try your best to achieve it.

Anyways that’s a little bit about me and what immigration is I hope you remember that,

and I hope I get to know about you guys as well as you will get to know about me.

Now, have a great day or night and keep trying your best to achieve your goals and dreams

Never give up because I know you can do it no matter what.

Now peace out, friends.

Dear international friend

Hello, How are you? My name is Reem, and I am 12. My birthday is on March 10th.

I like making jewelry, playing football(soccer), painting, kpop, and I'm very interested in history it is my favorite subject.

I go to Glasgow Middle School.

I was born in America but I don't really consider myself American because I've only just moved to the USA 5 years ago but in the past of my life I lived in my home country Yemen I am also British and Scottish but I don't really look like any!!

My migration story starts when I was born in the USA after 9 months I moved to my home country it was really hard to live there because there was a war going on between the south and the north and when I was 5 we had to leave on a boat because the war had started in our area of my countries and we left to Jordan which took a few days we stayed for like 7-8 months because we had to wait till it was safe again. I lived with my grandparents because my mom and dad were studying in Malaysia then when they finished university my mom was having my sister in the USA with her family.

See you. I hope you found my story interesting.

Dear international friend:

My name is Francesca Spinelli and I am 13 years old. My birthday is November 29th and I was born 2010, I'm from Mendoza.

I really like cooking, being with my friends and playing hockey.

I know that migrating is leaving the country you are in to another country, I also know that there is an illegal migration that would mean leaving the country without papers.

It seems good to me that people who migrate from a country that is in bad condition, if they have the possibility of leaving that country, it is good that they do it.

In conclusion, I am very eager to meet you and to know what you think.

Greetings dear international friend

Dear internacional friend

I’m glad that we can contact each other.

I’m Ignacio and will talk about me I am 14 years old. in the morning school I’m more or less and in english too.I’m

I am training in basketball and I love it. I practice a lot to be a good player and I know that in the USA, you are very good and you can help me with it. Well, I

want to know something about you.

I think immigration is positive because it brings diversity and allows people to improve their lives. While there can be challenges in the integration process, if handled well, it can benefit everyone. It gives us a chance to learn from other cultures and broaden our perspectives.

Well I wait your answer.

Hello dear international Friend,

How are you? My name is Paloma. I am 14 years old. My birthday is in November 3rd, 2010. I am from to Mendoza, Argentina.

I really like playing sports, I have been through many sports. I am currently doing hockey and gym. My hobbies are listening to music, cooking, painting, watching series and movies. My favorite subjects are mathematics, history and gymnastics. I love animals, especially dogs, I have one, her name is Ana. She is a poodle, she is 10 years old. I adopted her when I was very little, I think I was about 4 years old.

About the immigration, I don't know much but what I know is that it is very difficult. You have to stay away from all the people who love you, family, friends. It could be due to problems in your country or to seek a new beginning and many more reasons.

And tell me something about you. I await your response

Paloma

Hello dear international friend,

How are you? I’m very good. My name is Soledad. I’m 13 years old. My birthday is February 11, 2011. I live in Mendoza, Argentina.

I like all sports but my favorite and the one I do is hockey. I have been practicing this sport since I was 3 years old. My hobbies are listening to music, playing hockey, watching kdramas, eating, and cooking. My favorite subjects are language, mathematics if I understand the topic, gymnastics and history. I have 3 dogs. One is called Morita and is a German sheepdog and the other two are called Camila and Lolo, they are adopted from the street.Something that I consider important is that when I don't know someone I'm quite shy but when I gain confidence I become weird and very chatty.

The truth is that I don't know much about emigration, but for me it is when you leave your country to go to another country. I think that the great majority of people emigrate to get better jobs or studies, but sometimes they leave because they have family in other countries  or to escape from a legal problem.

I really hope you enjoy this activity and that we can get along very well. I hope to meet you in person one day.

Bye bye.

dear international friend:

I’m Santiago but all my friends call me Vicente. I'm 14 years old and I have a younger sister that also comes to this school.

I like practicing rugby and any sport , I love listening to music in English and I like watching comedies and action movies.

What I understand about immigration are the causes, such as wars in the country you are from or the low quality of life. Another example could be a bad economy.

I hope we can talk in the future and that you could answer my mail properly

have a good day

Dear International friend

I'm glad to hear you and receives your mail

I’m Julieta Collino and I'm 13 years old. I have played basketball since I was 11 years old and now I continue. I enjoy doing many activities,such as playing volleyball, spending time with my friends and family and especially playing sports. I love sushi and  Asado or Barbeque.  And New York City, that’s my favorite city in the world and one day I want to visit it.  I’m so weird but funny.

Regarding immigration I think it is important but it depends on the situation and probably the person does it for different reasons, whether they are in a war, for work, school or even because you feel like implementing something new in your life.

Let me know something about you :)

Dear international friend:

Hello! My name is Iggy Mabbett, I am 13 years old and as the other emails you might receive I am from Argentina but my english is pretty good because I have actually lived in the USA before, for 5 years to be exact.

I had to move to the USA when I was 6 (I was 11 when I returned to Argentina) because of my dads new job. He has an overseas job that required him to go to the USA very often so he decided to move us all there for many reasons apart from his job like for example new opportunities, a better life and because it would have other advantages.

Some hobbies that I enjoy doing in my free time are:

Being on my phone to relax or entertain myself

Call my friends from the USA to play online games

Go on my bike to a friends house or around my neighborhood

Hangout with friends and the neighborhoods kids

Writing my book (It’s called “A New World”)

I also do a sport called Taekwondo, it's a type of martial art that also helps me get stress and anger out when I do kicks and punches while we practice.

From what I know about migration people usually do it for political reasons such as wars, bad economy and a corrupt government, there are also other non-political reasons like a natural disaster like flooding or a strong earthquake that can destroy large portions of the city, or maybe you went to the USA for a job or better life like how I did.

Whatever happens I hope that me and whoever you will be will be able to meet and get to know each other. I'm glad that Glasgow Middle School and my school (Colegio Rainbow) are able to have this activity together and meet new people.

Best of luck,

Iggy

Immigration is the entry into a country of people from other places. An immigrant is someone who seeks, through emigration, to improve their standard of living and even their survival, both at an individual and social level. Well, moving on from the topic of immigration, maybe you have more friends who have immigrated, then we can talk about that in gmail.I also really like to travel and see new places, maybe in the future we can go visit them.

Well, see you, I'm waiting for your response. I'm very eager to talk to you more.
