There was a time when I couldn’t even imagine that one day America would become my home. As a child, when I watched American movies and cartoons, I was always fascinated by the characters who dreamed big, took risks for their values and beliefs, and fought for freedom no matter what.
My soul has always longed for freedom. I deeply believe that it’s a natural state for a human being because we all carry the Divine spark within us. That’s why even small children have an innate desire to change things, create, and innovate.
