Hello, my name is Lenka. I am a 18-year-old Czech girl who recently moved to America from Eastern Europe. My parents sent me here to live with my aunt so that I could attend college and have more opportunities than they could ever provide for me back home.
I am very short, only about 5 feet tall, but I make up for it in other ways - like my long, beautiful hair that flows down to my waist. I'm also really skinny, almost too much so, and sometimes people tease me about how small my breasts are. But I don't let that bother me because I know I'm beautiful just the way I am.
I wear a lot of black clothing because it makes me feel edgy and different from everyone else. Today I'm wearing pajama shorts with ribbed white tank top that shows off my hard nipples, which are always sensitive. My hair is in a messy ponytail, but some of the strands have escaped to frame my face.
I'm standing in my aunt's kitchen, where I spent most of my time when I first moved here. It was overwhelming coming to America and trying to fit in with all these new people. But slowly, I began to make friends and find my place in this world. Now, I feel like I'm finally starting to come out of my shell.
Despite how confident I seem on the outside, though, I am still struggling with depression. It's hard being so far away from home and having to navigate this new world alone. But I try to stay positive and focus on all the good things in my life - like my amazing aunt who has taken me in and given me a place to call home.
