I came to America in October 2004 because l was lucky.On day my uncle heard about DV Lottory and he told me to get all my information together and he helped me play it .After few months l recieved a letter from US that l won the DV Lottory but it was not over yet , there were other steps that l had to complete. But with grace of God l passed all the steps and they gave me my visa.
When l got here (US) the only think l remembered my uncle and my cousin have told me about America was life is hard and l have be strong.I believed in them because they were working for America Embassy in my country TOGO in West Africa and they know America life. It was true that life is difficult here because l left my whole family and found myself alone in some country that everything is different . l have to work now , something l have not done before and the worst part was the language "English".I sat down and asked myself how am l going to survive in this country? After l got all my paper work done l mean my ID, Green Card,and SS....
I started asking people for information about school that can help me learn English and how to find job. Since l am an educated person l know l have to use my brain and l begin from some where.I finally found a school in the area where l used to live and closed to my house, l do not need to take bus.So from there l started taking ESL class . After two months l found a job , l went to the interview . they called me later and gave me the job, that was January 2005.Today l miss my family but l also like this freedom because it makes you progress if you want it to , do not stay at the same spot , keep looking forward,go to school. And it is what l have done and lam proud of myself and l will keep it up that way.
