And now! For the long awaited season finale! Selena immigrated from Puebla to New York City when she was a child. When she found herself back in Puebla as a young adult, she struggled to find where home was. Family didn't help. But through a lot of trials and tribulations, she's finally made peace and made it home.

And now for something completely different. Today we hear from someone who was living her big city New York City dream, when she ran into visa problems. So she had a choice- to go back to her home country of Peru, or go back to Mexico, where she moved when she was a teenager.
