Why I chose China
As you might know I was born in China. I was only 8 months old so I don't really know what my home actually looked like. I was born in Hunan which is a province in China. A province is just like a state like here. My province is known for the ladies. This means that the girls here are said to be the st prettiest which is know lie. But don't take that the wrong way. I was left on a bridge when they found me and why I was abandoned I don't know. I still have a great family and in my mom's opinion I am the luckiest girl.
