One year has passed since I have arrived on these shores.

For one year, I have known the joy freedom, to wander paths that always have been closed. And while there is much I have learned, there is still so much yet to discover.

I hope these days can continue forever. But even if they cannot, I am happy to have lived them - to have known all of you. I am grateful.

If it is something I am allowed to choose, I would like to consider this date my birthday.

Many here celebrate such things. When I asked why, they said it is to celebrate being alive.

Being alive is worth celebrating. [ It was not a state easily earned where she came from. ]

Is there any significance for why you picked this particular day?

I think I said because it has been a year since I came here?
