The Strangest thing I Have Ever Seen

              When I was little, I was so noisy. I always liked to play with my younger brother's toys and always warned him not to tell  our parents. I always made a mess and horrified our family members.
One day my aunt came to our home with her newborn daughter. We all welcomed her warmley and  as thi was the first time she had come to our house after a long time. In the afternoon, my mom warned me not to make noise or sound, because the baby was sleeping. After a while I heard the baby crying. I went in the drawing room and I told my mom. My mom went  in that bedroom with me, where the baby was sleeping. But a strange thing happened, and I was not ready for it.It made me really very surprised, because there was no sound and the baby was sleeping quitely. My mom looked like I betrayed  her. Then she warned me again.
           After a few minutes I heard the baby crying again! As I was forbidden to go to that room alone, I went very close to the door. I was sure that the baby was crying. I decided to tell my mom. But I failed to tell her, because last time I seemed a liar!
        When I told my mom again that the baby was crying, my mom frowned at me.  I swore to her that I really heard  the baby was crying. We went to that bed room. Unexpectedly, there was no sound!!
         I was really very surprised. How was that possible? I felt like I was irritating her. My mom fretted at me. She asked me why was I lying. But I knew I was telling the truth. I was thinking,"why this strang thing happening to me? Why does the crying stop when my mom comes with me?"
        Then I told her to go inside the room. Suddenly we heard a crying sound. But the baby seemed like it was sleeping deeply. It was very strange we both were looking at each other. Then my mom told me search the whole room. We searched everywhere,but there was nothing. Suddenly we heard that sound again! Then I looked under the cot, because it seemed that the sound was coming under it.
      I was wondered, because  there was nothing but a kitten. When a kitten cries it sounds like a baby's crying. My mom and I both were laughing when we discovered the source of the crying!
      That the strangest but funny thing happened in my life.

My First Day at My First School in the USA

            After many ups and downs my family and I got our visas on the 16th of July, 2009. After about three months, my father bought tickets for the airplane for us. We arrived in the USA on November 1st, 2009.
            A few days later, my uncle told me that I had to go to school with my cousin, Shufi. He attended Eastside Memorial High School. That made me so uneasy, and I was so afraid about how the new school would be? What type of classes would I have to take? Would they be easy for me? Are the teachers nice with the students?  Am I going to have any friends in my new school?  All these thoughts made me kind of crazy.
          Anyway, on November 13th, I went to that school with my cousin. When we arrived at the school, I was looking at the people and I was trying to find somebody who would be the same ethnicity as me. But I didn't find anybody who looked like a Bengali. Everything was different from Bangladesh. However, Shufi introduced me to the principal and to all of the teachers. I was little bit nervous, but they welcomed me to their school and they were so nice. Some students came and said 'hello' to me. All these things made me very comfortable. I went to his classes as a visitor and I enjoyed them. The teachers were so nice and they were very friendly. I had a good day on my first day at Eastside Memorial High School.

The Recent Book I have Read

          A few weeks ago I asked Jannat, my younger sister to check out Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows from the library. As I had already seen the first six Harry Potter movies, I was wondering what might happen to Harry and his friends at the end . I started to think about the rest of the story. I thought that Harry would defeat Voldemort or he would die as they both were great wizards. I hadn't seen the seventh part  named Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. I went to the library for the DVD of this movie. But the librarian said that they didn't have it. That's why I asked my younger sister to check out that book for me.
When I first saw that book I was surprised and thought to myself, "Oh my goodness!! It's a very big and thick book! How long will it take me to finish this book?" But I was wrong. It was an amazing book and I was excited with every  of it. It made me very curious to move quickly from one part to another part as I read thoroughly.
        Then, I began to understand gradually the reason that Professor Snape killed Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Howgwarts; how Dumbledore was a person in his real life. The great story of  "Three Brothers & Deathly Hallows" tells how Tom Riddle who was an excellent student  became Voldemort, as well as the magnificent sacrifice of Harry's mother. That was the main reason that Voldemort couldn't kill Harry that night when his parents died for him.
        I had great sympathy for Ron's family, because they lost George, Ron's brother. Ron lost two fingers, and Fred lost one ear. But I had great satisfaction about the defenses of Harry against Voldemort and it was a very good description of how Harry defeated Voldemort. I felt like I could see all the happenings in front of my eyes. The ending of the story also was very good and gave me the pleasure of having read a  very good book.

My favorite memory

         "Are we getting visas to come to the USA? Is that a dream or true?" my mom asked my brother. It was her first expression after hearing that we were getting visas on the 16th of July, 2009, to come to the USA.
         It was magnificent news for all of the members of our family. We were getting tired of going to the American embassy again and again. My uncle,  Frank Bhuiyan, who had lived in the U.S. for 29 years, applied for immigration visas for all of his brothers and sisters in 1991 to assure a better life for them. Fourteen years later, in 2006, my mom and her other brothers and sisters got their immigration papers.
         But the first time we applied,the American embassy didn't give us the visas. They were suspicious of us because there were so many candidates in my grandparents' family. We had to go the hospital for DNA tests and bone tests to prove ourselves.
          After many ups and downs, on the 16th of July, 2009, we got our visas from the American embassy. It was a great moment to remember, because after many expectations and hopes, we got our visas to come to our desired dreamland.
           However, we made lists and started shopping to buy the important things which could be useful for us in the new country. My father purchased the ticket and confirmed us that we'd come here on the 1st of November, 2009.
          It was wonderful, but also a sad moment for all of us. We had to say goodbye to all of our relatives and friends. We had to leave our loving country. We coudn't stop crying at that moment.
          Anyway, it was very exciting to get on an airplane for the first time. After fastening the seatbelt, the airplane started to jerk. After a while it started to move and all the trees and houses looked like little dots and the roads looked like  snakes. White clouds were playing around all over  the sky and I felt like I could touch them.
         We spent most of the time on the airplane sleeping. We also listened to music and watched the Hindi movie  named Kambakht Isq' & 'Aja Nacjale. I ate chicken nuggets for the first time. We flew above the Atlantic Ocean and after the journey of 33 hours we arrived in the USA. We saw my uncle and my aunt had come to the airport to receive us. We were so tired after a long journey but also very happy, because our dream had come true at last.
