for the first time

179
00:10:45,253 --> 00:10:46,558
in five years.

180
00:10:47,255 --> 00:10:50,998
My mom looked beautiful,
more than I remember.

181
00:10:51,825 --> 00:10:53,478
Uh...

182
00:10:53,522 --> 00:10:55,002
[laughs]

183
00:10:55,263 --> 00:10:57,047
I can't cry.

184
00:10:57,091 --> 00:11:00,442
Like, my tears was,
like, stuck.

185
00:11:00,485 --> 00:11:03,401
Like, I have this happiness
inside of me.

186
00:11:04,925 --> 00:11:07,579
It makes me feel like

187
00:11:07,971 --> 00:11:11,627
where I was broken,
is got fixed.

188
00:11:13,063 --> 00:11:16,023
My mom, she said something
to my foster mom.

189
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:18,634
She said, "Mugeni,
she's my daughter,

190
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:22,769
"but she'll always be
yours as well.

191
00:11:23,334 --> 00:11:26,033
So, Mugeni,
she have two moms now."

192
00:11:28,905 --> 00:11:30,777
Not all people can say that.

193
00:11:31,429 --> 00:11:35,172
It was, like, so kind
for her to say that nice words

194
00:11:35,216 --> 00:11:37,435
to somebody you've never met.

195
00:11:42,876 --> 00:11:46,618
So I live in Michigan
but I don't like snow.

196
00:11:47,358 --> 00:11:48,664
[laughs]

197
00:11:50,971 --> 00:11:52,799
I work in a factory

198
00:11:52,842 --> 00:11:55,497
for the automotive industry.

199
00:11:56,324 --> 00:12:00,023
I work overtime
so that I can send the money

200
00:12:00,067 --> 00:12:02,330
to Mom in Africa

201
00:12:02,373 --> 00:12:04,636
so they can have
a better life.

202
00:12:06,551 --> 00:12:10,033
I helped my mom
to start a business in Uganda,

203
00:12:10,642 --> 00:12:12,079
and then I wanna help

204
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:15,517
to start more businesses
over there.

205
00:12:16,561 --> 00:12:19,695
As I grow,
I'm taking care of my family

206
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:23,003
'cause I became like a father.

207
00:12:23,177 --> 00:12:25,745
He's the one who was
gonna do what I'm doing,

208
00:12:25,788 --> 00:12:28,660
but I'm doing it for him.

209
00:12:29,270 --> 00:12:32,142
It just makes me proud
to do it.

210
00:12:34,014 --> 00:12:37,626
I learned to be strong
when things are hard.

211
00:12:38,366 --> 00:12:39,759
I learned from my mom.

212
00:12:41,717 --> 00:12:44,546
