Once upon a time, there was a happy family. There was a happy mother and the happy, tall, and proud father. There were three children: the eldest brother, the younger brother, and the youngest of the siblings; the little sister.
The family had always spent so much time together: going on picnics; visiting amusement parks; watching movies and eating popcorn at the cinema; or just playing in the backyard and relaxing at home.
One day, the mother and father had packed a suitcase full of luggage. Because he was curious about it, the eldest brother asked his parents what it was for. They smiled and each showed him a ticket. "It 's just wonderful!" exclaimed the mother excitedly. "An angel came and gave us these tickets," said the father. "We 're

He got the feeling that she was lonelier now, because he was too. He didn 't want her to feel lonely though, so he bought her a teddy bear. When she got her present, she smiled so much brighter than before. He couldn 't remember ever seeing a smile quite so genuinely happy.
They continued their time together, playing and laughing, exploring and learning, and watching the stars. Whenever the little sister was scared or sad, her big brother would rush over to cheer her up. Sometimes just hugging her teddy bear--her present from her beloved big brother--was enough to cheer her up. She really, really loved her big brother.
One day, she had a small suitcase packed with most of her luggage. The big brother looked at her, hesitantly, and asked "Where are you going?" She smiled, with tears in her eyes. "An angel gave me a ticket, so now I have to go to the moon." Seeing that tears were starting to well up in her strong big brother 's eyes, she wanted to make him feel better.

After she left, the big brother looked at what she gave him: a teddy bear; the one he had given

The big brother decided to leave that house and go on a journey. He decided that he was going to make his way to the moon. The only thing he put in his backpack was a teddy bear.
He walked, and walked, for days, and days. A baker who was sympathetic gave him some food. A sewer who was sympathetic gave him warmer clothes. A traveler who was sympathetic gave him an umbrella. Even so, it was his little sister that gave him the teddy bear. That helped him continue his journey more than anything else.
One day, after traveling for so long, he came across a steep cliff. He took in the view, and determined which way to go. Then, he looked down. His eye was caught by the sight of a family at the bottom of the cliff. They were in trouble, because they had tumbled to the bottom.
So he made his way down the cliff, well-seasoned by his journey. When he got to the bottom, he saw a scene familiar to him. There was a happy family. A mother, a father, an older son, and a younger daughter. The mother, father, and son were all facing the daughter with smiles, and suitcases. The little girl asked them where they were going. Their reply was: "An angel gave us these tickets. We 're going to the

Our family’s ability to adjust was going to be put to test. We faced the biggest challenge in our lives when we moved to the USA. It was very hard to leave our childhood life in Mexico, those years were priceless. We still carried in our minds those special memories of child naughtiness. We did not have toys to play with; instead we had animals to feed and to take care, those chickens, ducks, caws, sheep were very demanding.
When I was a year old, my mother and I left everything behind in Mexico to start a new life here in the United States. Of course, being young, I had no idea of the tremendous consequences that would be implicated upon my family and my future. She came here so we could have a chance to live the American Dream and escape the poverty and crime there was in Mexico. It was a hard decision my mother made at the time but it was the best for the both of us. When I look back on my childhood I wondered to myself how did I get through it, cause I guess you can say that I really never had a childhood like the other kids.
A place I feel a sense of belonging is soccer practice. As I look up from my phone, I see the green grass swaying in the wind. The car drives over the rocks and I hear the gravel crunching together beneath the rubber tires. I grab my water which sloshes around in my small blue jug and get out of the car. I look up and see my teammates, all in a circle, chatting about what happened that day at school.
