“I was born in Canada and raised in the suburbs of Chicago,” Serena Wadhwa said. “As someone who is bi-cultural, I think the greatest obstacle in coming to America is balancing two very different cultures. The greatest joy I have experienced in being an American is when I was sworn in for my citizenship. One day I hope to open my own counseling center.”
