(From the Journal of a 16-year-old girl):
Hi, I am Kauthar Hassan and I moved from Kenya by way of Somalia to the United States in 2000. Eventually, my family decided to settle in Texas because my father found a job in Houston. It was exciting to travel from Kenya to Houston because we didn't travel much before suddenly taking the very big trip from Kenya to Houston. We came to the United States because my parents wanted better jobs for themselves and a better education for my sister and I.
