Michelle Borriello grew up spoiled by the picture perfect coast line and warm sunshine of Naples, Italy. But at just eleven years old, she had to say good bye to the city and people she loved and say hello to Boston, Massachusetts; and unfortunately, it was not a warm welcome. She came to realize that the land of opportunity would not provide the American Dream without hard work and perseverance. But throughout all of her hardships, Michelle was able to create a life with children that she loves; while always staying true to who she is and where she came from.
