April 28th is a very important day in my life. Today marks 23 years of living in the United States and I'm so happy! No matter what people may feel about the U.S. I am still proud to call myself an American. I have been given a chance to make a better life for myself. It will be difficult but I know that I will be able to succeed.
If it wasn't for my Grandmother (or God working through her) I, nor my mother, would be here in the U.S. She worked endlessly in the fields to save up money to send both of us to the United States, and I will be forever grateful. She gave us an opportunity and because of her my future children will have an opportunity.
