I immigrated with my parents and siblings from Europe to California when I was 13. I went to college in the Los Angeles area. Met my husband at 19, married at 21, we moved half way between my college and his work. When I graduated we moved back to the town my parents lived in. We moved to Oregon for about a year and then moved back to SoCal for work. I wished my family had never immigrated but at the same time I would not want to go back now. I sometimes wonder how life would be if I still lived in Europe. I miss all my extended family very much.
