Read the excerpt from "At 14, I Walked through the Desert to Reach the US. My Story Didn’t End There.”I want everyone to know that the story doesn’t end once migrants cross the border.

My dream is to become a social worker and improve the foster system so other children in the US don’t have to go through what I did. I want to make our cities safe, livable, healthy places for all people. I walked through the desert for days—to have these opportunities.On International Migrants Day this month—and beyond—seek out migrants in your community and listen to their stories.
