Abstract | Daniel Correa is a junior transfer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studying Journalism. He immigrated to the United States with his parents and younger sister from Bogotá, Colombia in 2001, seeking political asylum. Correa moved to Miami at the age of eight and then to Cornelius, North Carolina when he was thirteen to finish school. He was in a special English-Spanish learning program in Miami before coming to North Carolina. Most of Daniel’s family still lives in Colombia and he discusses how close-knit they are. He also talks about how hard of a transition it was for them to emigrate. He discusses different experiences he has gone through here in the US, what forced them to seek political asylum and what it means to adapt to “American” culture. |
