Hello, my name is David King and I am from Nigeria in Africa. I came to America on September 11, 2001. We arrived around 6 am in the morning with my now ex-wife. My cousin was supposed to pick us but she never showed up. There was no way for us to contact her even though a TTY was available, I did not know how to use it. We were so new, nervous and did not know what to do at that time. People looked at us as we communicated in sign language. Someone noticed us and approached us to see if we need any help.
