I came to the United States in 1973 at the age of 15 and lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for thirty-two years. There I attended school to learn the basics of English in order for me to attend high school. After high school, I worked for a machinery company for twenty-three years. I started as an assembler and was promoted to department supervisor. I became a naturalized American citizen in 1986. I moved to California in 2001, where I presently reside. I moved here to start a new life because life after Rio Tinto did not prove to be much better. This is the first time I’ve ever written anything so lengthy. I wrote this story because since I have gained more experiences, I have learned that my childhood was unique. Some of my friends encouraged me to write my story so that others can learn of the abuse that a child can go through in these small villages. The experiences that I endured as a child were very traumatic. I promised myself that I was not going to follow in the footsteps of these people who had such a negative impact on my life. I have become a stronger person as I discovered the positive things about myself and through writing my story.weniger sehen
