Mela's Journey

Mela's journey to the United States began when she was 18 years old. She had just married a man she had never met before, and she was leaving everything she knew behind to start a new life in a foreign country. Mela was scared and unsure of what the future held, but she was also excited for the adventure that lay ahead.

Mela and her husband arrived in the United States in the early 1970s. They settled in a small town in the Midwest, and Mela quickly began to learn about her new country. She took English classes, and she started to make friends. But Mela also faced many challenges as an immigrant. She was often the only Indian person in her community, and she was sometimes the target of racism and discrimination.

Despite the challenges she faced, Mela never gave up on her dreams. She worked hard to learn English, and she eventually found a job as a teacher. Mela also became active in her community, and she worked to help other immigrants. She started a support group for Indian women, and she helped to found a local multicultural center.
