Reflecting on the last year, I realized I haven't been to a restaurant in the last 7 months; that's right, I have eaten homemade food only. Last time I went to the movies was 11 months ago. My life turned upside down and I wonder if all this sacrifice is worth it.

Being an independent researcher is challenging. I haven't been able to advance much on my research mainly because:
- Can't access to academic journals
- Don't have an HPCC where to run models with million of observations
- Can't access to academic journals
- Don't have an HPCC where to run models with million of observations

Under the threat of deportation, it's comforting to see the Venezuelan community coming together, Magazuelans and Progrezuelans working side by side to fight the DHS decision to terminate TPS (redesignation 2023).
