July 4th, 2009 is a date I probably won't forget soon. Defending my innocence in an immigration interrogation room when entering the U.S. was really not the way I planned on concluding my big trip. To answer the investigator'S questIons, I found myself exposing personal experiences and event from my trip to South America, hoping that my story would help me leave the interrogatIon without a black stamp in my passport.
