Um, I didn't even, looking back, it should have been, but, you know, I didn't realize because, you know, because of that, I got to finally work.

You know, I wasn't like under DACA and things like that.

So, you know, I had to wait till I got a green card to be able to even start like contributing to the family, you know, with money and stuff like that.

So that was cool.

And then I got to finally take a driver's license test, which I couldn't before without a social security number.

So, you know, again, it was a lot.

I feel like in my life, it's always a lot at a time.

I'm learning multiple languages and going to church, learning a whole new culture.

You know what I mean?

It's like, bitch, now suddenly you're working, getting a driver's license.

You're the only person that drives in the family, you know?

And so it's just a lot.

And so, yeah.

Was it a big moment?

I don't think I had a moment to realize it was.

Yeah, a little bit.

But I didn't even, you know, I don't think I realized it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.
