I was born in New York City, but raised in the Dominican Republic. I used to come to the USA for vacation, but I never saw myself moving to the USA. After graduating high school my mom gave me the option to move to the USA to pursue my higher education. However, I didn't like the idea because I was moving to a different country, leaving everything I knew behind to a new start. I knew that my mom had the best intentions, and that pursuing my higher education in the USA was a better option. However, the thoughts of taking such a big risk to achieve a goal scared me. It wasn't until I realized the opportunities that were being offered to me in the USA that I actually considered taking the big risk. I moved 3 years ago,
