My dowry box was a gift from my aunt.

 I came to America from Turkiye for the first time in February 2004 with my family. We came as a family for touristic purposes. My eldest son wanted to go to university in New York. He has been living here since 2005. Finally, I came here in October 2022. When I landed in JFK Airport in New York, I felt happy because now this city is my new home and I'm very excited. I know that all people living here are immigrants.The only difference is those who came before and those who came after.This is my American reality. I felt I had a very big family. People from all over the world come here with energy from their own countries and cultures. My new country gave my family a new life, a new job, and a new opportunity. I felt these feelings when I came to this country. It gave me peace.
