"When my grandfather told me to 'leave and not come back' what he meant was... by going out and pursuing my dreams I would have a chance of escaping the poverty, violence, and pain of living without knowing what tomorrow would bring. He wanted me to do better and have opportunities to experience my fullest potential."
