Now I realize how far I have come, even though my life has radically changed. I believe that I have overcome any obstacle that life has given me. Personally, this country gave me the freedom that I did not have at home to express myself, that being a woman is more than a gender, it is an opportunity to do more than a housewife and raise children. Thanks to the encouragement of my sister, through studying, I could learn English, finish high school, and now have a career, always to be the best of myself.

Discourage. It may just be that you are far from your family and friends, but throughout life, you see that you can make new ones and put down roots in another city that is not yours.

Now I know that I can help the generations of women in my family, that they have value as women and that they can and are capable of being whatever they want to be.
