Roshelle Violanda Gonzalez interviewed by Mark Daniel Violanda
introduction:
Roshelle was born in Liliw Laguna, coming to America at the age of 17, her expectation was that the United States was a welcoming country and that life would be easy by the stories her friends and family would say. Little did she know it was one of the most difficult experiences she had to endure especially her first year in America. Culture shocked by how life is like without your whole family can be challenging, living life pay check to pay check, Roshelle, her parents, and three other siblings, they had to work there way from living in a one room basement into the person she and the rest of her family are today.
