Where I came from

Well, I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. My parents both moved from England after they married and decided to start their life in a new country. My sister and I were both born there, and I think this gives me a different perspective than others in my class. Why? Well, many reasons really. First and foremost it makes me think about my history. My parents really only decided to move to Canada because my mother didn't want us kids to grow up in segregated schools and wanted her children to have more opportunities. I think this pushes me to be thankful of where I am today. God only knows where I would be if I had stayed there.
