Getting to Know Victor

Hey, my name is Victor. I’m twelve years old. I’m living in NYC and I came to New York in 2019. Before I moved to New York I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. When I moved to New York I was ten years old. It was fun living in Venezuela because they have lots of beaches and beautiful places. In the future I hope that I have a big mansion for my family (it’s going to happen, trust me). My family was from China and some of my family is from Caracas, Venezuela.

Dear Luis:

You might think our friendship is not strong and important, but to me it’s important and strong. When I first stepped foot in an NYC school, the teacher said, “Hey, this person’s going to help you and he speaks Spanish just like you.” It’s very interesting how we met and became best friends. I always look up to you.

You were the person who taught me how to be a good person and express my feelings.

You made me a person who is kind, nice, and a good person.

We always laugh together and have fun together. I don’t want our friendship to end because I would not know what to do if you weren’t alive.

I would always look up to you and care for you. Love you, bro.

Sincerely, Victor Li Jiang
