Today I want to tell you why I decided to do this with my life and what I’ve learned. 非常感谢。我是一名记者。我的工作是与全世界各行各业的人交谈。今天，我想告诉你们为什么我决定用我的生命来做这件事，以及我学到了什么。 My story begins in Caracas, Venezuela in South America where I grew up, a place that to me was and always will be filled with magic and wonder. From a very young age, my parents wanted me to have a wider view of the world. 我的故事始于我成长的南美委内瑞拉加拉加斯，对我来说，这个地方过去是，将来也将永远充满魔力和奇迹。从很小的时候起，父母就希望我对世界有一个更广阔的视野。 I remember one time when I was around seven years old, my dad came up to me and said: “Mariana, I’m going to send you and your little sister, who was six at the time, to a place where nobody speaks Spanish. I want you to experience different cultures.” 我记得有一次，在我七岁左右的时候，我爸爸走过来对我说：“玛丽安娜，我要把你和你六岁的妹妹送到一个没有人会说西班牙语的地方。我想让你体验不同的文化。” He went on and on about the benefits of spending an entire summer in ‘this summer camp’ in the United States. Stressing a little phrase that I didn’t pay too much attention to at the time, ‘you never know what the future holds’. 他不停地谈论在美国“这个夏令营”度过整个夏天的好处。强调了一句我当时没怎么注意的话，“你永远不知道未来会是什么样子”。 Meanwhile in my seven-year-old mind, I was thinking we were going to get to summer camp in Miami. Maybe it was going to be even better and we were going to go a little further north to Orlando where Mickey Mouse lived. I got really excited. 与此同时，在我七岁的脑海中，我在想我们要去迈阿密的夏令营。也许情况会更好，我们打算再往北走一点，去米老鼠居住的奥兰多。我真的很兴奋。 My dad, however, had a slightly different plan: from Caracas he sent us to Brainerd, Minnesota. Mickey Mouse was not up there and with no cell phone, no Snapchat or Instagram, I couldn’t look up any information. We get there and one of the first things I noticed was that the other kids’ hair was several shades of blonde and most of them had blue eyes. 然而，我父亲有一个稍微不同的计划：他从加拉加斯把我们送到明尼苏达州的布雷内德。米老鼠不在上面，没有手机，没有Snapchat或Instagram，我无法查找任何信息。我们到了那里
