My parents didn't get the opportunity to graduate from college, and to be here I'm not only fulfilling my dream, but I'm fulfilling my family dream—my parents' dream. \nAnjali\nPlay Video\nI work at Fenway, I study at UMass Boston, I live in Charlestown.

My whole life changed, but everyone was so welcoming and made me feel safe. I was really happy. It was a huge opportunity. It was a new start in my life.
