When you grow up you can do anything you want to do and be anything you want to be. That's the only thing I heard the first 18 years of my life. When I turned 19 I decided to make that come true. Only my parents wanted me to have a good education first. So four years later at the age of 23 I set out on my own. Looking back at it now I may have had an easier time staying in America. But I've made a life of my own now. It wasn't easy but I wouldn't have had it any other way.

"Just make sure you call me when you get there okay!"
"I'm leaving now... Bye!"
I started to walk off to the direction of the gate and then turned around....
"Love you guys!"
I turned around trying to hold back the tears that were coming. Though I wasn't successful I kept my pace and didn't look back.
