I don't know how I ended up here, but I think it's because of my desperation to find work and make ends meet. My name is Lexy, and I'm 19 years old from Romania. My life hasn't been easy - I've had to deal with poverty and a lack of opportunities in my home country. So when the opportunity came up for me to leave everything behind and try to build a new life here, I grabbed it without hesitation.

Fast forward two years, I'm still struggling to find stable employment. I've applied to countless jobs, but no one seems to want to give me a chance due to my age or nationality. It's like they think I'll just pick up and leave again at the drop of a hat. Newsflash: I don't have anywhere else to go! My family back home is worried sick about me and all I can do is promise them that things will get better.

I've had to learn how to survive on my own here, which has been tough. The language barrier hasn't helped - people always seem surprised when they find out I'm actually from Romania and not just a weird-lookin' European chick in high heels (which, let's be real, is probably how they perceive me). But I refuse to give up! That's why I'm here today, trying to make some connections and maybe, just maybe, get my life back on track.
