My Work

Ruben Ludena

 

I come from Cuenca, Ecuador. It is high in the Andes Mountains of South America. I came to the United States the first time at the age of ten with an American man. His name is Larry. He was a college student in Cuenca and rented an apartment from my uncle and we became friends. I stayed here for a month. Larry married my sister, and they moved to the United States.

The second time that I came here was in 1993 and the third was 2000. I like the United States because there are more options to work and the laws are straight. Now I am working in a Staples distribution center in Connecticut. It is a little far from Worcester, but I like this job. I drive a truck in a warehouse. I want to learn more English because I want to go to college. It's a little hard because I only get three or four hours of sleep a day, but I have to do it for my future.
