Introduction
Kristoffer Guanlao is my best friend and we've known each other since Freshman year of high school. I specifically chose him as my interviewee because of how similar our lives were and that out of everyone else I could relate to him the most. Both our families came here for better opportunities leaving everything behind back home. We both spent our early childhoods in the Philippines but grew up and matured here in America. Here he shares his journey growing up and coming to America as he gets accustomed to his new lifestyle and new beginnings.
