This is exciting work for me as my current work is right in the same line. How do we have a genuine conversation on immigration? How do we dialogue? (Haven't quite gotten there yet in Orlando, but definitely meeting some good caring people, that are learning a lot fast.)

"My mother told me I was excited about meeting a stewardess, about getting on a plane. She also reminded me of the one piece of advice she gave me for blending in: If anyone asked why I was coming to America, I should say I was going to Disneyland."
