This episode wasn’t planned. I sat down on the porch with a book and coffee and started reflecting on something personal — gratitude. I came to the United States from Jamaica and eventually worked my way toward citizenship while serving 20 years in the military and later teaching and training others. Along that journey, like everyone else, I made mistakes, took chances, and tried to grow.
In a time when immigration is often discussed loudly and mused over, I wanted to speak quietly about something simpler: gratitude for the opportunity to try.
This isn’t a policy discussion. I’m not in those rooms and don’t pretend to know everything that goes into those decisions. But I do know what it feels like to be given a chance — and to work toward becoming part of something larger than yourself. Sometimes gratitude is the most honest place to begin.
