We were constantly together dreaming of future careers in ballet. In our free time we watched videos of the New York City Ballet. I dreamed of eventually becoming a part of that company.

Promised a land of greater opportunities, many were disappointed when high paying jobs and comfortable housing conditions proved to be scarce. At…
