was assigned a seat; after two hours‚ I heard my name being called. Walking towards the front of the room‚ I sat down at a desk‚ signed a few papers‚ and returned to my seat. After another hour of waiting‚ the ceremony finally began. A speaker spoke‚ a slideshow played‚ and then the best part occurred: the calling of the countries. When I heard my country’s name‚ I stood up with pride‚ scanning the room and noticing that I was the sole person there from my country. It was now time to receive our documents

I grew up as the ignored daughter. The first child of two very smart‚ diligent working class carribean immigrant parents. My parents worked tirelessly to give my sibling and I everything we needed.

Unless you are traveling in a Mumbai local. During a rush hour! My 20 minutes ride from Borivali to Andheri wasn’t particularly a happy journey‚ with all the peak-hour rush‚ bodies cramped against each other and what not‚ but being a Mumbaikar myself‚ I had come to terms with it. Although‚ the journey wasn’t always a gloomy one. Every

long time ago‚ my mom woke me up early. “It’s time to go‚” she said. Go‚ go where I asked? “Today‚ we are moving to Florida‚” she said. My big brown eyes began to fill up with hot salty tears. I don’t want to go‚ I said over and over again. You and your sibling are going to be moving to Florida with me. Again‚ I cried aloud‚ I don’t want to go. Who will take care of me? Where will I sleep? And what will I eat and drink? Consequently‚ all of my pleas for mercy to reside longer with my daddy was ignored
