Diana Rojas Martinez / Nicaragua
I came to USA when I was 15 years old, I didn’t know any English at all! I came legal waited years for my papers but finally was approved and came direct from Nicaragua to US. I was excited to be here but knew it came with challenges, I felt bless I had light/power that didn’t go off at night, I had water to drink that was not cut off at 5pm, I actually had warm water to shower, food MEATS that I could eat any day of the week not just Sundays, I could actually buy me clothes anytime I wanted not wait for my birthday to get them or Christmas.
I had to work hard to get all I wanted. Facing Jr high school not understanding anything, people looking at me weird was tough, I cried but pushed myself and 1 year I learned English. Today I am very successful and even tough my accent comes out sometimes that’s who I am and I am very proud of myself, if you really want something NOTHING can stop you. I had God by my side and I never looked back. This country has been a big mansion for me, i feel rich ! I could have all I want I just to work hard and not mind individuals that might push me down along the way
