Pakistan and Families

I don’t come from Pakistan, alot of people think that though.I am Pakistani but my parents are from there.

My Mum had moved from there when she was eighteen years old.She had came to Scotland to get married with my Dad.This might sound shocking but my Mum and Dad are cousins.I don’t think thats really weird though some of use might.Im happy they are .

My Dad came to Scotland when he was about six months old.So meaning he is use to it here.He owns a shop.Though he was hoping to be an engineer but he didn’t want to go away for a long time meaning that he won’t see us alot.So he just wanted to have an easy job so he owned a shop.Im glad he did because i eat alot of sweets .We had lived in Bonnybridge then we moved to Carronshore because my Dad wanted my sister , Aksah , to go to Larbert High School because he had went there when he was younger so its also mainly that.

The reason my Dad moved from Pakistan was because his brother did so all of the family wanted to so thats why we live here.

I am glad i live here but i always miss going to Pakistan but i don’t want to leave Scotland so i just want things to stay how they are.

Pakistan is a really great country.I have been there 3 times in my life.Once when i was young then another time when i was five then another time when i was seven.So i haven’t been for almost 4 years.I still miss all of my relatives there though i am going on holiday to see them this year in the summer for about 6 weeks.

Whenever they phone my Mum they always want to talk to me but i always go shy and don’t know what to say but whenever i go on holiday i yapp on with them all day that makes them pretty tired i bet.

Well, i cant wait till i get to see them agian!
