I left my three sisters, my mother behind. My dad was here in America and I hadn’t seen him for almost five years. It was definitely a culture shock, coming here with a completely different language to speak. I didn’t speak a word of English and it was a weird age where I was finally so comfortable with my friends [I had to] Leave them behind to start a new life. So when I left here it was very different but my mindset was always positive. I always knew I was coming to a country where opportunities were worth gold.”
