What country did you emigrate from? Guyana

When did you emigrate to the U.S.? June, 1992

How did you arrive in the U.S.? via plane to John F. Kennedy International Airport

Why did you immigrate to the U.S.? I immigrated along with my mother to join my immediate family of my grandmother who were already living here. I was 12 years old when I arrived and now 25 so most of my life has been spent here. I have had the opportunity to go to College and now pursuing employment in the museum field. America has given me boundless opportunities and I have and will continue to rise to meet and take advantage of it with the greatest gratitude. I could not have imagined immigrating anywhere else but this terrific nation.
