“This country gives people so many opportunities."
October 7, 2022

Guilles L.
We are all seeking to better ourselves. I have lived in New Jersey, Georgia, and now Indiana. I have been working from state to state. I stayed in Indiana because my wife is here. Now, it's time to work to improve our lives.
My wife and I are from Nicaragua, from a small town 45 minutes away from the capital in Managua. It is beautiful.
There is always a bit of fear when arriving in a new country, but the important thing is to continue working because over time you meet new friends, and you don’t feel as lonely anymore. I have made friends that are like my family or even better.
My goal is to learn a little something, maybe start a business and return to my country. I have house in Nicaragua, and I do plan on returning. My Wife and I want to learn while we are here and return to start a business in Nicaragua. This country gives people so many opportunities. I want to take all the knowledge learned here and use it back home."
"Todos buscamos superarnos. Yo estado en New Jersey, Georgia, y ahora en Indiana. Ahí estado trabajando de estado en estado. Me quedé en Indiana porque aquí llego mi esposa. Ahora toca trabajar para superarnos.
Mi esposa y yo somos de Nicaragua, de un pueblito a 45 minutos de la capital en Managua y es muy bonito.
Siempre hay un poco de temor al llegar a un país nuevo, pero lo importante es seguir trabajando porque con el tiempo uno va conociendo nuevas amistades y no se siente uno tan solo.
He hecho amistades que son como mi familia o hasta mejor. Mi meta es aprender algo, talvez emprender algún negocio para regresarme a mi país. En Nicaragua tengo una casita, y pues queremos aprender algo en este país para poner un negocio en Nicaragua. Este país le da a la gente tantas oportunidades, quiero tomar todo el conocimiento aprendido aquí y regresar a casa."
