About Me

              My name is Poonam Ghimire. I am a student at Furness High school, I am in ten grade. Besides begin a student I am someone's sister. I was born in Nepal and at the age of 13 I moved to the United States with my family. I have four members in my family, my brother, my parents, and me.

             Our own country is Bhutan. It is near India. My parents moved from Bhutan 20 years ago. They  left it because it was too hard to live there. The people from other religions hates our religion. They used to burn our houses or take children with them. I never saw that, but my parents told me the long story. My family moved to Nepal then, and one year later my brother was born. Then, I was born 4 years laterafter that. I am the youngest child of my family.

             When I was six years old I went to school. I was a little quiet person. We lived in a small town. There were too many people from our own country. We lived in the town called Damak but It was perfect. We  lived their like a big family. I went to school in Damak for two years. Then, my father took me to the another school. I went to the next town called Janakpur, in Bal Niketan School up to six grade.

            After I finished six grade. I moved to Damak again. I went to school there for seven grade. When I started to study in eight grade, I moved to United States. Now, I am in ten grade. I have been here for two years. My life is good in America, but I still miss my town, my country.
