My name is Marco

Hi! My name is Marco. I am 17 years old. My parents and I moved to the United States from Peru 2 years ago. I don’t have any brothers or sisters; I am an only child. My parents came to the United States because they could not find work in Peru. My Aunt and uncle had moved here 12 years earlier and own a restaurant. My father works as a chef and my mother works as a waitress at the restaurant. It is hard work but they are happy that they now have enough money and that I have the opportunity to get a good education. Leaving Peru was hard for me. I had a lot of family and friends there. I could speak very little English and my family didn’t have a lot of money. Things are better now. I have made a few friends and I am learning English fast. I will graduate High School next year and hope to go to college. After that I will get a job as an Engineer and make a lot of money so that my parents don’t have to work so hard anymore.
