Hi. My name is Garchelle Ashley and I am 19 Years old. I recently moved to Canada from Jamaica where I lived for the first 18 years of my life. I moved to Canada to be with my mom, whom I hadn't seen for 10 years. This Course, Migration and Culture, is interesting to me because it describes some of the feelings that I felt knowing that I had to leave my home and come to a foreign land where I basically didn't know anyone. Being in Canada, away from all my friends and family can sometimes be really hard. Especially when I just got here and didn`t know anyone.
I hope to learn how migration affects not only the people that migrated, but also the people they left behind.
