My name is Amelia, and I live in Poland. When I was little, I lived in Russia, so I know a little Russian—we didn’t live there long, just three years. We moved because my mom was offered a good job as a sales manager for apartments. She’s not working right now. As for me, I work as a waitress at a restaurant and want to get a promotion. I have two dreams: to pay off my mom’s $12,000 debt and to buy a car so I can drive. As for the car, that’s really my mom’s dream. When she was young, she wanted a car but never got one, and now she’s hoping I’ll make her dream come true.
