Immigrant Story
Ghisela Eljach moved to Greenville when she was around my age. By herself. She was not fluent in English. Her family was a world away in Barranquilla, Colombia. She was studying to be a lawyer. When she first moved to Greenville, Ghisela started out in a factory, packing sheets to make a living. That experience reminded me of the many factory jobs my parents worked to provide for our family when we first moved here.
