Now, his sister\u2019s situation makes the journey more urgent. She was forced to leave Honduras because of threats on her life after defaulting on a private loan. Jorge wants to work in the US to make enough to bring his sister home so she can be with her two young children who miss her desperately. Jorge also dreams of studying law or nursing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Well, I had many financial problems. I have a 27-year-old sister who had a problem, a big problem, and had to leave. She\u2019s now living in Spain. She\u2019s working. She left my two nieces. One is three and one is one and a half. That they wake up and tell you [in the middle of the night] \u2018I miss my mother\u2019s hugs,\u2019 is pretty hard.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So I said, I\u2019m going to come with the idea of working to help my sister so she can be with her kids again as soon as possible. And I can help my family get ahead. Ever since my dad died I\u2019ve always wanted to study. Unfortunately, in Honduras I\u2019ve never had the chance because if you go into a public school, you also have to have a job. Because even if it\u2019s public, you need money. The notebooks, the books and everything, etc., it\u2019s all that money. And if you don\u2019t have a job and if you don\u2019t have [financial] support from your family you can\u2019t do anything.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When my dad died, I tried to study. We didn\u2019t live near the schools, and I had to drop out half way through the year because it was very hard. I couldn\u2019t continue in school because I had to pay fare to get transport to school. There were days when I had the fare, days when I didn\u2019t. One day my mom even punished me because I got home at night from school because I didn\u2019t have money for the bus so I had to find a ride. So when I got home she asked me \u2018Why did you arrive at night?!\u2019 But by the time I tried to explain she was already hitting me!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I decided to drop out and the next year I got a job. It wasn\u2019t a lot that I earned and I had to support my mom.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I couldn\u2019t study, so that\u2019s my goal. Work, get ahead, and be able to study, because I\u2019d like to get ahead. Nursing and law is what I like most.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019ve said since I left Honduras, I come believing in God. And I\u2019m going to keep going. And I know that my dreams will come true with my faith placed in God.<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s been hard, but I\u2019ve always said that in life, everything comes for a reason.

They paid me 200 Lempira [$8] per day, all week, without any days off. And it didn\u2019t go that bad. But later in the next jobs it was different.

By hope. Because there are many who have gotten to here, and now I hear people saying that they want to go back. But because of what we\u2019re doing there are a lot of people who are deciding to go through Guatemala now, there are a lot of people who want to come.
