In a land torn by war, Maria and Carlos fled, leaving behind their home, seeking safety in a faraway land.

Across the vast ocean, on a ship rocking in the sea, Maria and Carlos sailed toward a new beginning.

They arrived in Michigan, greeted by friendly smiles and a land so vast and different, America, their new home.

In school, Maria met friends from all corners of the world, learning about their cultures and sharing her own.

Together, Maria and Carlos explored Michigan's wonders, its towering buildings and parks, feeling the heartbeat of America.

They savored new tastes, hot dogs, apple pies, and ice cream, flavors of America that made their hearts sing.

They joined in Thanksgiving, sharing stories and laughter, grateful for the warmth of friends and the bountiful feast.

Under fireworks' glow on the Fourth of July, they waved flags high, feeling pride in their new land.
