My name is Esther Mwangi. I came to Canada in 1984 from Kenya as a student to do my Grade 13. My parents sent me to Canada to get a university Education. This would help me get a good job when I returned to Kenya. However, when I came to Canada I was 22 and had never lived outside of Kenya.
Now I was in a new country without my family, friends or community. I felt isolated, but I kept my mind on my studies, determined to do well.
