Edna Froio
I come here because I think in America, in America I have more opportunity for a better life. My dream is speak English well, and after my citizenship, my goals is changing the job…if I have opportunity for improve myself. One thing I like here. If somebody want a going opportunity for life, America gives this opportunity for everybody. Because in Brazil, if somebody lose the job after forty-year, find out another job is very difficult.
Edna Maria (DaSilva) Froio was born in Brazil in 1963. Edna came to the United States of America from Recife da Pernambuco, Brazil in 2007. Her initial intention was to gain employment in the U.S. and save money to return to Brazil after three years. She needed work elsewhere, as there was limited opportunity for someone over age 40 to find good work in Brazil. She says that youth is favored in Brazil by employers and experienced adults are not.
