My name is Clara. I came from Guatemala in 2008. I came to live with my aunt in Tucson, Arizona, because in Guatemala I didn’t have much of a chance of a good education. Many girls only go to school until they are 13 or 14, and then they get married. The most important thing to my family back in Guatemala was for me to get a good education. I have a brother that still lives there with my mother and father. I miss my family. I feel lucky to have an aunt that is an American citizen. She helped me get through college. I am now very successful. What could be a push factor for Clara?

Living with her aunt in the United States
