A
A
About

I
met
you
a
few
years
ago
you
were
a
student
at
Annapolis,
High
School
and
your
story
is
remarkable.
I
would
love
for
you
to
share
with
everybody
who's
watching
about
your
story.
So
where
are
you
from?
When
did
you
get
here?
How
do
you
learn
English,
you
know
it's
just
a
beautiful
story
and
I
would
love
for
you

B
B
A
B
B
B
My
dad
get
alone
to
pay
for
my
oldest
brother
education,
so
I
was
finished,
mine,
I
gray.
Back
then,
when
my
brother
started
looking
for
a
job
and
then
he
was
like,
like
one
year
round
like
looking
for
a
job
and
he
could
find
it
so
then
I
decided
I,
say
dad.
Why
are
you
going
to
take
another
loan
for
me?
So
I
decided
to
don't
stop
my
education
and.
B
A
B
Called
the
beast
like
yeah,
oh
no,
more
more,
knowing
like
the
beasts
and
Mexico,
but
it
was,
it
was
pretty
you
know
like
for
me.
It
was
a
surprise
because
I
never
thought
they
I
will
be
come
to
this
country
or
move
our
Honduras
I,
never
left
my
house
no
even
for
like
a
week
and
then
the
day
I
decide
to
to
camera.
Here
was
a
surprise
for
my
family
because
they
didn't
knew
that.
A
B
I
didn't
have
died.
I
did
you
know
I.
Just
like
you
know,
I
just
make
the
decision
like
saying.
Oh
I
go
into
New
Yor,
you
know
what
I'm
saying
like
that
day.
I
was
going
to
to
work
oddly
and
then
my
my
friend
my
it
was
no
my
friend
my
mind,
my
cousin
called
me
and
saying:
oh,
let's
go
to
like
the
bordello
WA
Ramallah
and
he
can't
he
want
me
to
help
him
to
do
something
with
animals
like
cows
there.
That
would
bring
like
a
huge
like
trailer,
full
Oh,
like
cows,
yeah.
A
B
That
the
part
of
me
I
just
come
to
the
city
and
go
back
to
my
my
town
and
then
well
and
the
way
I
say:
mom
I
go
into
the
United
State
and
I,
just
put
like
a
panning
up
and
like
backpack
and
a
shirt
and
then
parachuting
and
I
say
III
would
be
back.
I,
don't
know
when,
but
I
think
I
go
into
the
United
States.
My
mom
I
start
crying,
not.
A
B
B
They
know
the
way
right
here,
so
the
different
me
was
I
was
coming
back
on
so
17
years
old
and
by
his
self
and
and
this
this
train
and
one
day
I.
It
took
me
to
pass
water,
mama
mmm-hmm
and
then
my
Ramallah
and
then
I
walked
from
like
the
border,
where
the
mala
210
Ock
Chiapas
Mexico.
That's
when
I
took
that
trying,
okay
along.
B
B
A
A
B
B
B
B
And
then,
and
that
temporary
house
Oh,
like
I'll,
bury
this
watch
full
of
people,
so
it
was
no
memory,
it
was
no
space
for
me
and
I
was
you
know
what
I
did
I
bought
a
bag
like
to
you
know
like
and
I
was
sleeping
on
the
the
I
sleep
to
like
one
night
under
the
bridge.
What
I
put
it
in
the
back
so
like
that
mosquito?
Don't.
A
B
You
don't
get
me
and
don't
then
he
said
I
mean
he
called.
He
called
me
and
same
in
many
societies
to
see
you
right
here
and
he
said
I
would
take
you
to
the
house
of
the
immigrant
is,
is
full,
but
I
can
take.
I
would
take
you
to
my
apartment,
wait
for
me
right
here
and
then
he
went
and
she
went
to
get
some
food
for
me
because
I
was
starving
I
days.
A
B
B
A
English
language,
learners
to
that
and
from
day
one
I
had
a
good
of
vibe
from
you.
I
saw
potential
in
you
and
I
I
believed
that
you
were
so
interested
in
learning.
You
just
want
to
learn.
You
were
eager
to
learn
anything
that
we
were
offering
from
math
science,
English
Jim,
even
going
to
the
gymnasium
to
do
some
sports,
but
I
mean
you
would
you
you
were
so
interested
in
everything
that
you
took
everything
and
I
never
saw
you
overwhelmed.
A
You
were
just
a
grace
to
them
from
their
graduate
it
and
then,
a
year
later
you
moved
to
another
high
school
southern
South,
Bruce,
Alfred
solder
or
high
school
graduated
with
a
good
GPA.
Yes
good
and
your
English
was
good
when
you
graduated
so
took
it,
took
about
two
years
to
learn
good
English,
like
almost
good
English,
to
get
into
Community
College
right.
Yes,
cuz,
you
are
now
I.
Did
you
graduate
from
Anne
Arundel
Community
College,
really,
no
I'm
still
you're
still
do
it.
So
what
are
you
studying
there
now.
A
A
B
A
A
B
B
B
A
One
yeah
you're
already
successful,
but
let
me
go
back
to
high
school
again
to
Annapolis
high
in
the
end
south
south
river
high
school
learning,
English
wasn't
easy.
But
what
is
it
that
helped
to
you?
What
was
the
best
thing
that
happened
to
you
to
assess
student
to
say,
okay,
I
think
I'm
going
to
get
X
I'm
going
to
get
this
and
I'll
be
able
to
to
grow.
B
So
it
was
a
lot,
a
lot
of
facts
that
they
helped
me
to
learn:
English
and
one
one
of
them.
It
was
then
I
didn't
want
to.
Oh
I,
don't
want
to
to
be
right
here
and
be
like
one
more
person
like
they
come
from
Honduras
and
all
for
another
countries,
and
you
know,
didn't
want
to
get
like
all
the
opportunities
that
this
country
or
those
people
offer
you
so
it
was.
B
It
was
a
big
challenge,
because
the
only
family
that
I
have
right
here
is
my
uncle
who
I
love
him
like
my
father,
because
he
is
one
of
the
main
reason.
Oh
the
mean
person
why
I
learn
English,
because
she
always
pushed
me
to
do
it.
Saying
dig:
no,
you
need
to
go
to
school
and
you
know
one
day
you
were
appreciated.
You
will
learn
English,
so
my
uncle
have
been
like
the
main
thing
and
then
Israel
role
model.
Yes,.
B
A
So
and
I
see
that
and
I
see
then,
and
every
time
I
see
you
out
in
the
community.
I
am
proud
of
you
and
I
share
this
with
you.
That
I
am
very
proud
of
you
and
we
love
for
all
newcomers,
so
news
to
dancing
by
the
United
States
to
be
like
you,
I
know
everybody's
everybody's
different,
but
you
know
it's
just
such
a
great
example
of
perseverance.
A
B
A
B
Want
to
grow
up
and
what
my
English
boy
I
know
is
not
that
great
right
now,
but
it's
better
than
why
they
when
I
started
so
I
want
to
learn
more
English.
I
want
to
you
know
and
like
I
say:
I
want
to
grow
up.
Honduras
I
did
want
to
graduate,
but
then
what
I
went,
what
I
thought,
what
I
going
to
do
after
I
come
back
to
my
village
like
my
brother
did
so
then
that's
what
I
say
right
here.
I
see
like
for
you
have
like
a
career.
A
So
in
Honduras,
if
you
they
said
that
you
would've
gone
to
high
school
and
then
College.
If
you
go
back
to
your
to
your
village
and
there's
no
career
opportunities,
it
would
have
been
stuck
there
and
so
now
here
they
have
the
opportunity
to
learn,
anglers
and
continue
with
your
higher
education.
Hopefully
you
do
become
a
businessman
or
earned
your
bachelor's
degree
in
business
management.
A
B
B
A
B
A
B
B
A
B
Never
too
late
and
never
give
up,
because
how
I
say
when
I
was
camera
here,
I
did
count
from
four
years
without
being
in
in
school,
and
then
it
was.
You
know
no
heart.
It
was
no
easy
because
started
doing
this
again
and
then
plus
right
here.
You
know
my
family.
All
live
in
Honduras
I
I
do
has
to
work
after
after
high
school
to
pay
my
stuff
yeah.
So
you
know
I've
been
doing
this
one
for,
like
you
know
six
years
and
nothing
has
been
easy.
