Leaving your country is always a difficult decision, and whoever has experienced it understands the sacrifice it entails.

Even though America is a great country, adjusting to a new culture isn’t easy. It took patience, support, understanding, and passion in order for me to balance two different cultures.…

Being a true American involves pride, honor and responsibility.…
