Nadia moved to the United States from Brazil three years ago. He lives with his mother and his sister in a small house that they rent in Minneapolis. His father, Alfredo, stays behind in Brazil because he owns a small business. He'll rejoin the family sometime next year.
Nadia's family had to wait almost ten years to immigrate to the United States. They applied for a visa when Nadia was two years old. They didn't realize it would take so long to obtain permission to enter the United States. They're happy about their new lives, but they get homesick from time to time, and they miss Alfredo.
Nadia is gradually adjusting to his new life in Minneapolis. He still struggles a little with his English, but his new American friends are helping him learn about the language and the culture. He's in his second year in high school, which means he's a sophomore. He has two more years to go before he graduates. His grades are good and he's very active in sports. He plays American-style football in the fall and soccer in the spring.
