Hungry Hippo
I stared out of the white window of our living room onto the front yard of our neighbors across the street. Not that we could call them neighbors since we haven’t met them yet.

I've never looked back on my motherland since earning a scholarship to one of the most renowned universities in the United Kingdom.
