America.

Man... I am so thankful!

What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to be a part of this country.

A place where I feel unlimited, brave, bold, and free.

Thank you @scaddotedu for giving me the opportunity to do what I love!

I love my home land. Please don't misunderstand me. But, this country.

This place I dreamed of when I was in my lowest of lows gave me hope and a dream.

I struggle constantly with my identity and stepping into who I am in a land I immigrated to but to have this chance and have the ability to do what I love as a first-generation immigrant is a dream come true.

I live out this dream and the nightmarish moments in pursuit of the opportunities I received when I was 19 for my kids right from the start.

I will give this journey everything I have and I am honored to be a part of this country.

I miss my home... more than I can express and I honor the opportunity to call this land my home, now.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, America.

I love this country and want to be a part of its forward momentum.

I consider patriotism an act of serving and wanting this new home of mine to be the best it can be for everyone and I am blessed beyond compare for my story and the journey so far.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Sam Qavah John.
