MACON, Ga. — Graduate nurse Gabriella Taunton-Carcamo came a long way to Central Georgia so she could become a nurse.
"I moved to the United States back in 2013 beginning of the year, from Honduras and I pretty much just wanted to have a better chance at life," Carcamo said.
At 17-years-old, she left her mom in Honduras as a high school junior to move in with her dad and step-mom in Warner Robins, and it didn't start off easy.
