“To me, living in America means having the privilege of pursuing any dream or education path I wish. My mother wanted to pursue psychology back in Bolivia, but because of the lack of job opportunities for the major, she was forced to settle for something else. Which is why, when I told her I simply couldn't pick between an ideal major yet, the face she had is engraved in my memories. Eyes crinkled with joy, a smile beaming on her face, that's when she knew that this country allowed me to have the ability to choose. Having the option to choose is really something most take for granted, because opportunities aren't common in developing countries, such as Bolivia.

Living in America is how I will honor my family's and I's sacrifices. Through hard work and ambition, I'll make the absolute best of having the luxury of being able to live in America, a country made of opportunities.”
