My arrival in America was not a mere coincidence. This country is the birthplace of rap; this genre has its origins right here. Every individual involved in rap and hip-hop has long cherished the dream of visiting America at least once in their lifetime, much like wushu masters who aspire to visit the Shaolin temple. I have made several short trips to the United States, but one day I found myself pondering what it would be like to remain there for a whole year–just a year, nothing beyond that. Following my dreams without a concrete plan, I took a leap of faith and went. I visited friends in Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania. Ultimately, I decided to settle in Chicago. With the help of acquaintances, I landed a job in an office and began working for a logistics company. I had initially envisioned myself working for a year and then returning back.
