I’m leaving because I want to start a new beginning, and have more opportunities to do good things. I want to come back and make my family proud. My home life isn't the best so I wanna change that for my younger siblings. It’s always been my dream to meet my mom's family who lives there. -

I didn't have a job previous to this one, so getting paid monthly has been nice. I finally feel stable, I have something good going for me. I also met my mom's family, who were so welcoming and loving. They're planning on moving closer to me, I have cousins now! -

Getting around town I walked a lot, sometimes I’d hop on a train. Transportation is quite expensive, so all I really go to is to work.
