Background: This song narrates my initial years in the United States, a time filled with boundless ambition yet scant resources. After completing graduate school, I faced the daunting challenge of securing employment without citizenship. The clock was ticking; I had just one year to demonstrate my worth. I seized every opportunity and battled fiercely to establish my place. Fortunately, someone took a chance on me, opening a new chapter in my life.
Inspiration: I was inspired by the song “Parallel Universe” by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
