My Home Country of Myanmar

I originally came from South East Asian country called ‘Myanmar’. Myanmar is basically made up of eight different ethnic groups. The word ‘Myanmar’ represents all the ethnic groups living in the country. Each group has their own state, flag, culture, tradition, gesture, language, heritage, and morality.

Other ethnic groups practice Christianity. Other minority groups practice Hinduism, Islam, Animism, and others. Similar to United States, Myanmar has its own diversity. However, there is discrimination, and classism exists. The country is largely made up of rain forest, rivers, lakes, costal region, mountain region, and full of natural resources.

I thank my dad to brought me here. Back in my native country, life was pretty rough. I never though of coming to America. If I was still in my country, I will be in the military or working, no doubt. I’m very lucky to be here in America. Even in America, the problems don’t go away. I have to work ten times harder and think harder in order to make a living and do it again and again until my brain explode. All I ever wanted is the quiet comfortable life and I can ask no more than that.
