520 _aHave you ever been forced out of your home? Have you faced poverty, war, lived in a refugee camp, started a new life somewhere very different? I want to share my story with you so you know who I am. What I have been through being a refugee. Growing up without a father. Going through and learning from the different stages of my life. Starting a new life in a country that is unique, a struggle and a place for endless opportunities. I invite you to read this book to learn about a new culture, the diversity in the United States and my story from childhood to adulthood. Whether you are open to different cultures and welcome diversity in this country or not. I hope that this book educates you on stories of people like me who appreciate everything this country has given them. Finding a safe haven and having the opportunity to grow up in this country has made me the person I am today. We sometimes tend to be skeptical and phobic of others who are in this country. We ask what if to the unknown? Though remembering that the United States was founded on immigration and the greatest minds who came here to make this country the best it is. We are a nation of many nations and by having a simple conversation with someone who is different than you will bring a new way of thinking. Join me in learning about my life, my journey to America.
