I was asleep in the airplane, when my brother woke me up with excitement his face. My brother said “Boubacar wake up, we’re reaching New York. We were coming from Guinea, which is in the West Africa. Anyway, I looked through the window and what I saw lifted my spirits. I saw the most beautiful city I had ever seen. There were tall buildings everywhere I looked. Then I saw her, her hand holding something high. It was the statue of Liberty, which told “me” we had reached New York City.
When we got off the plane at Kennedy airport, I saw my dad was there, waiting for us. My brother and I ran to give him a hug. All of a sudden, I felt a warm drop of water on my neck. Can you believe it; my eyes were full of tears. He said “ After 10 years, sons”. It was one of the happiest and most unforgettable moments in my life. My father left us when we were so young with our mother. A lot people thought that we will never going to see our dad again, but they were wrong. I am so proud of him for not forgetting us, and bringing all of us in here to live as family.
At the airport, we saw all kinds of different people speaking different languages. I was getting puzzled and excited the same time. When I first felt the weather I ran back into airport, which made father laughed with big smile on his face. It was really, really freezing.When we got home my father started to ask us about the family but I was so weary sitting in the airplane more than 8hrs. I went to sleep and left both my father and brother talking. When I woke up I realized that I had slept approximately 5hrs. My father and my brother weren’t in the house; it was like I was dreaming or something. Then I checked the door and it was locked which made scared than before. All suddenly I heard somebody trying to open the door. It was dad with my brother holding the grocery bags in their hands. I was so happy see both them
