My Immigration Story:

I am originally from Venezuela.  When I was 8 years old, my family moved to Margarita Island, a small island in the Caribbean.  I was one of 9 children and while we grew up poor, my parents did everything they could to give us a better life.  When I was 14 years old, I traveled to the United States.  The only thing I wanted to do was study because I knew that education was the key to a better life for me and my family.  I arrived in northeast Philadelphia and enrolled in high school here.  After school I worked and like many immigrants, I sent money back home to my family in Venezuela.  With the money I sent my family was able to build a house and improve their quality of life.  Living undocumented for over a decade, I understand and can empathize with the struggle that other immigrants go through. I am the first person in my family to graduate high school and college, and I’m trying to teach my children to have an immigrant mentality, which to me means: see the world with fresh eyes, find opportunity in things that others may take for granted, and never forget where you came from.
