Never Go BackHello, my name is Gloria Fonseca and I was born in 1954 in Puerto Cortes, in Honduras. I came to the United States in 1981 with my husband. We were leaving our families maybe forever. We had many problems. There was not much food; we also had problems with the war. When I came to the United States, I left my family and my children too. I could not understand English. I had to learn English. This language was very difficult. I have lived in this country for 25 years, and I’m very ashamed because I can’t speak good English. I had to study hard. Finally, after much practice, I began to speak better, and I write and read better too. The most important thing is to never go back to my country because many people are hungry and there’s no money from jobs. My people live in very precarious conditions and because I live in America, I have many opportunities here. We live very happily now. |
