An act of kindness

To tell you about this good deed, I must tell you a little about my background. I always dreamed of America, and if ever asked a question about my future I would say “I will be a doctor living in America”. No one ever took me seriously, however, when I made that dream come true, suddenly I had so many believers. I packed two bags that July of 2017, one filled with my clothes, the other with some books and gifts for the person who would be waiting for me here. I was wearing this old flannel shirt, with black leggings and the only pair of shoes I bought, one that were a size too small. I remember the happiness of realising a dream overshadowing the fact that I was living my family, my comfort my whole world until then behind. I was not ready for the hardship that I would face.
