Aye+Win

My Partner by Chadina Baez  My partner in ESL class, Aye Win is from a country in Asia called Myanmar (Burma). She preferred her age to be a secret. She considers herself a hard-working, lucky woman but sometimes a little lazy. Aye finished high school in her country and has decided to finish college here in the U.S, she can have a better future in live for her and her families.  First of all, my partner is a hard-working woman. For example, she works twenty hours or more a week as a cashier in a discount store dealing with many customers every day, but 20 hours is not enough for her. She also goes to college full-time taking twelve hours a week. She always finishes her homework on time spending more than fifteen hours each week on her schoolwork. She is a full-time student and works at the same time, which is hard, but she does this for her family. She is married and has three kids. In addition, she has to take care of her three babies when she gets out of school and off work. I think that she is really hard working.  Secondly, Aye considered herself a lucky girl because in her country they had a lottery for people to get visas to come to the United States. She was one of the lucky people. In this lottery the government picked one name from a thousand or more people trying to come to the United States. Aye was very happy because she won, and as a result she was eligible to get a green card to come to live in New York. That is what I call a lucky person.  Even though Aye is hard working, she thinks that she is a lazy girl because she doesn’t like to do housework so she often puts it off. She knows she should clean the floor every day but she does it only every three day. For example, she doesn’t like to clean, wash dishes, do the laundry, or cook. But she does it because it is what a woman has to do in the house. She likes to do everything else except housekeeping. I think that Aye only thinks she’s lazy because she feel guilty about not liking to do what she thinks a woman has to do. Maybe she is only little lazy but not that much.  In conclusion, I think that my partner is a nice, lucky woman who is, hardworking and sometimes a little lazy. Aye Win is a good role model for her three girls. Also she could inspire other people with the hard life she has. Also she is a good example for people not to give up and keep going ahead, but otherwise Aye has an interesting life and I would like to know more about her.
