Immigrants Sacrifices Aracely Salazar

To me writing this book was a wonderful and extraordinary experience for many reasons; in this book, I was able to express my true feelings and my experiences, I could tell that I discovered part of my destiny in other horizons, which for me was unexpected because my life was like swimming in the sea without knowing what was waiting for me. I also wanted to send my message to all those without the slightest idea of what I lived as an immigrant, emigrating for me was like finding peace in myself. I achieved goals and purposes, I discovered talents that I never knew I had; between distractions and hopes, I was able to survive as a human being, without contemplations I had the courage to emigrate to make a better future for myself and for my son and only with the help of God. The words of God were: "help yourself so that I can help you." With persistence, I was able to overcome many barriers because I never gave up even though I loved without being loved. In time, I achieved every one of my dreams. In my innocence or in my ignorance as a young woman, I was able to overcome the challenges that I had to face every day, nowadays I write my words in this book to not keep quiet my truths, but so that those who read my writings may learn of my experiences, because everything that happened in my life I never planned; it was only my destiny from which I would never have the answer of what happened in my life, only God knows the answer of each one of our destinies. When I cried for my mistakes, only God healed my wounds but then it was why I was able to continue my life blessed, I was not perfect, just vulnerable in the middle of the abuse and humiliations all my life. I survived by fighting one way or another during the most difficult times of my life because I always had faith in God. I emigrated and left everything to begin again from nothing in other lands to recover my life and to succeed.
