For those who don't know me, will know me now alittle better

I was born in my home country Vietnam and I moved here to the U.S at the age of 8. At the time I couldn't speak english or let alone spell compared to other students in my class. I felt left out once in a while, but I was able to find at least one friend who ignore how diverse or different I was. Unfortunately, he moved away when we were about to enter 4th grade together and we've been friends for only a year, but to me it felt like 3 year. My english hadn't inproved until I was in the 5th grade, now I'm going into the 8th grade and still I've never been able to see, speak, or even know where my first American friend is now. I believe in time he and I will eventually met again soon.
