Going to America

    Maritza always dreamed of moving to America. All of her cousins in America said they were so happy there. They loved the food, the music, the schools, and the shopping. It was easy to find work. And you never had to worry about your next meal. Maritza wanted to be the next person in her family to travel to America.

    How could she get there? First, Maritza has to get a passport and a Visa. Then just go. 

    Her cousins made it sound easy, but she was getting a different story. Maybe going to America wasn’t so easy anymore.
