My Arrival Story

Vicky

My arrival in the United States was filled with nervousness and anxiety. It was the rainy season in April 2024, and I remember it like it was yesterday. I arrived directly in Seattle from Venezuela and met my cousin’s wife. We had spoken via email, but we had never met in person. I haven’t moved since I arrived. I knew my uncles and cousins, but we hadn’t seen each other in 20 long years. Then, we went to Hawaii for vacation. It was two weeks of relaxation, and this was part of the adjustment. I decided to embark on this journey toward a better quality of life. We’re making progress little by little. In short, I can say that I’ve had many experiences and emotions, and there’s still much to come.
