Grateful for People are Care about me By Eiton              Life is too hard than anything else in this world. When we are born, we get started to take responsibility for our life.

Of course, we all feel that way because life is hard. This is my story started from my hometown Papua, Indonesia to the USA. I have had challenging experiences; felt unable to deal with new things that you can imagine when you go away from your family and home. I live in Missoula and study at UM is like in the dreams, anyway.  I was born and raised in a remote region called Mulia, in Papua, Indonesia. People live in this place only indigenous people know Ndani and they do everything in their own way, including culture, habits, believe system.

So, my family didn’t go to school. My father dropped out of school w...
