Henry’s Submission
My Name is Henry Etim and I am 21 years old. I was born in USA and I grew up in Istanbul, Turkey and now I am in the USA studying English at MSU. Great school. The influential person in my life is my mother. I am a twin and my twin brother’s name is Paul Etim. My mother taught me so many things in my life. She teaches me how to forgive someone and how to say sorry to someone I did wrong to. I grow up in that kind of manner. As a young boy she taught me how to cook and set dining table for the family to eat. I love it and even now I always do it. I am 21 years old and I have learnt how to be a good and a respectful person. She always tells us to respect our seniors and elders because one day we will be a senior as well. She has enriched my life with her passion for learning and changed it with her devotion to humanity. I love my mother. I love MSU and I want to learn English, to speak English and to make my family and people very happy.
