Roberto left Popayán and traveled through Mexico until he reached the U.S. border. After being detained by Border Patrol, he underwent interrogations and spent days in the freezing detention center before being released. With no money, no acquaintances, and only the clothes on his back, he faced the harsh reality of starting from scratch in an unfamiliar country. Over time, he learned that life in the U.S. depends on self-reliance, respecting the laws, and working hard every day. Despite the challenges, he never forgets his roots or the people he left behind.
