Election Reflection: Olivia Nelson W'17
(11/10/16 9:00am)
My parents moved to this country nearly 25 years ago. I wish I could say that being born and growing up in America has always made me feel like I belonged, but it has not. As I phrased it growing up, I was "American by chance"--my parents could have just have easily decided to move to another country, which would have led to me having a completely different identity. But my parents, as well as countless other immigrants, believed in the "American dream." And for that, I'm sorry.
