Dear Aunt Maria,

I have heard many great things about you and I
have wanted to know more about you. My mother can only tell me
so much and I know you are one of the bravest women in my
mothers life. You have helped her when she had first moved to
the states in 1976. You are older than my grandmother and you
are the only one out of your 6 siblings to have traveled to America
in the 1960s. I hope my letter can help you learn more about me.
I was born September 30th, 1999. My parents own multiple
businesses, and my brother owns his own company as well. I am
currently attending Doherty High School and I am a sophomore. I
am in all honors classes and participate in many school activities.
I play tennis in the fall and I swim in the spring. I am currently
learning how to drive and learning to speak French. I also have a
passion for cooking and I help mother make a lot of food and
baked goods.
I would love to know more about you and your adventurous
life. First, when and where did you first travel to America? How old
where you? How did you overcome your fear of traveling? When
did you learn how to speak English? What memories do you have
of your first time coming to America? I also would like to know
about your family. What is your mothers name? How many
children do you have? How close were you and my grandmother?
I really appreciate you taking the time to learn about myself.
I know you may have no interest in learning about me. However, I
would love to learn all about your life and why you have made my
mother into what she is today.

With all love,
