My name is Mallely
This is my story when I immigrated to the United States           
I came in 2015, I was small. I was 14 years old when I came to New York. I feel good because here has more opportunities, but at the same time I didn't feel good, because when, I came here, I wanted  to study in high  school,  but I could not because I needed to pay the rent and my things. My hope is to be a police officer.

When you emigrate and you help your family because you don't have enough resources you lose the chance to study.  However, I feel good because my mom did everything possible to bring me here.
When I came to the United States,  I left my dad and my sister in my country.. At that  time I didn’t want to leave my country because I didn't want to leave my sister alone.  That’s why It was my strength to work hard with my mom and bring my sister to us even  though I was still little,  I understood  everything and I would  leave her and my sister alone.
Over the years in 2018 we brought our sister. It's been about 9 years  Now my purpose is to work hard and bring my dad to the United states.
