Autobiography
Julia Santos
9/7/06

My name is Julia Santos and I'm a student at the Long Beach School for Adults in Long Beach, California. I came to the United States ten years ago with my husband and two children. My husband works in an auto repair shop in Seal Beach. My children go to school. They are ten and twelve years old. I have one girl and one boy. I go to school and take care of my children. I don't work. My children are helping us to learn English because we want to be successful in this country and have good jobs. We live in an apartment, but someday, we hope to buy a house and send our children to college. I like to cook, read books, watch movies, walk, dance, listen to music, and play with my children. I am very happy to live in this country.
