- I wake up 4 o’clock. I take a shower and then I going (sic) to take a
bus like 5 o’clock because it takes three hours and they want me at the
office at 8 o’clock. So you have to get some biscuit in your bag just to
[have something to eat]. “If you really want to come here in Canada, you
have to do that,” so I said to myself. But sometimes I just cry in the
bus . . . It’s really hard you know. I don’t have any money and you are
just doing that and you don’t know anything else in Canada. And well
then [ride] three hours and then after that you have to line up and
wait. And then you have to wait another two hours for your number
because lots of applicants. So if you don’t have any patience, if you
don’t really want to come here you going to back out something like
that. But I say to myself, “The Lord give me a chance to apply and to do
this so I’m just going to grab it.”-
