The sequence of events that changed my life - How I moved to the US | Zillennial Life Crisis

Hello friends! Here's the much-awaited full story on how I got a job and ended up relocating from Kenya to the US. I still get teary when I remember the journey that has led me here and tbh, I'm so nervous sharing this with the world. But our stories are even more powerful when shared. So here's my story. I hope it inspires you.

I can feel you, I lost my Dad the following month after your Dad it was 26 June 2018 it was a very, very painful death. I agree with you life is too short. We are here for a purpose and the day we'll be done with what brought us down here on earth we will definitely exit to be with our ancestors.

[@zillenniallife]

Bellevue is a lovely place. Thank you! 💛

[@peninahoigara3166]

My beloved sister, the one I follow immediately, battled cancer. Soooooo painful to see your beloved one die everyday until they finally do. More painful when they are in pain and no option is available. She was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital that fateful day. My late sister's daughter got a full ride scholarship into her highschool education while my sister was bedridden. We connect Florence, RIP to our beloved ones, we miiiiiiss you dearly. Congratulations for your job!!. Let me go cry too.

I am sorry for your loss Florence.... coincidentally I don't know why I'm watching this video on 30th may. I also found out about you today. Sending you love & light in this day!🥺💞

[@zillenniallife]

Thank you so much! 💛

[@alexkaranja1308]

I believe the universe works in mysterious ways..I have been watching videos on life in America secretly wanting to do trucking there for the longest and I happened to come across your channel (great content btw👌❤) and as I was listening to the story, I felt that the date 30 May would be mentioned. This date just happens to be my birthday. And I really hoped it would've been the day you finally got your visa or something but damn..I am so sorry for your loss and I believe one can never really get over a loved one. I am still shocked at how I specifically watched this in May. Wow.

Thank you! There isn't a link for the program. Just look out for the recruitment details from the Microsoft careers site and their LinkedIn profile. He should definitely apply during his final year. There are also open roles in the Nairobi office.
