At 6:00 am, I stood in front of my apartment building, squinting at the sun rising over the Andes Mountains when a black bullet proof van started to pull in. The van proceeded to pull up directly in front of me and I was alone. Normally, I would run for my life, consumed by fright and confusion. However, I felt excitement; my life was about to change forever. I was about to begin my first job, at sixteen, over 2000 miles from home, as a summer hire at the United States Embassy in Bogota,…

Stumbling from my comfortable bed, I seized my dainty, lavender alarm clock in a groggy, yet hasty attempt to silence the dreadful clanging it was emitting.
