During the influx of immigrants into the United States during the 70’s and 80’s, the

A important dilemma in my personal life is about my experience as a first generation immigrant in the United States. My parents take extra precaution to make sure I do not loose sight of where I came form and so, my parents drive to Mexico every year with my sister and I to see relatives who are living in conditions worse than ours so that we are grateful of our life in America. As I see my cousins and nieces/nephews grow up, I see realize that they have no real role model to look up to as no one has completed college when their parents exited high school and some not even that. So I want to help my family members to aspire to be something better in life and not a mailman or manual laborer like my father and uncles. I would like to instill

Statement of Purpose As the daughter of an immigrant, I have witnessed the various barriers faced by immigrants, and this experience has motivated me toward my career objective. According to the Pew Research Center Hispanic Trends Project, there were about 11.3 million immigrants living illegally in the United States in 2013 (Passel et al., 2014). These immigrants come from all parts of the world for several different reasons. Whether to provide better resources for their family back home or to live a better life, these immigrants usually work in environments that can be harmful and dangerous to their health.

Life of a child of an immigrant My parents both came to this country at a very young age. My father was 16 when he first moved to the U.S. and my mother years later moved when she was 19. I am a child of immigrants and it was hard growing up. I consider myself a Mexican American or Chicana. I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and later moved to Las Vegas. As I asked my father what he had to deal when he first moved he said “people would discriminate me just because I couldn’t speak well English and because of my brown skin”. “I was only 16 and wanted to live the American dream, but it was more like hell in America”. A lot of people are discriminated every day just because they aren’t Caucasian/white Americans, but they’re still American they live here and have a living here.

My family immigration story involves a lot of typical topics and a few hardships which people may not expect. By my generation, we have become accepted as White. However, both of my grandmothers had mixed ancestry.

For the Honors World History midterm project the class was put into groups and we were to make a poster with information about one topic from the first semester. We started with three topics and then picked which idea would be best to transfer to a poster. My group started with the three categories, people, revolutions and countries. We chose countries for our poster. Even though this project was very intimidating and stressful at first, I ended up enjoying it because we worked with other classmates which allowed for more creativity as well as a more complete poster since more people worked on it.

Writing Assessment #2 Coming from a huge Hispanic family, we make it a point to get together for every holiday and special occasion. I am fortunate to, not only have a big family, but a very close one. Each event involves aunts, uncles, aunts, cousins, and young second cousins who all come together. In the Hispanic culture they are referred to as tios, tias, primos, and primas. Ever since I was young, we have always come together to celebrate each occasion.

What have you gained/learned from this process thus far? The needs assessment report has been a great learning experience since the first day of the assignment due to the group setting of the project and the immigration learning topic. From the process, so far I have gained team work collaboration through technology as none of the team members live near each other. I have learned how to communicate electronically and we have found the perfect method for everyone to be able to participate.

U.S. Immigration 101 Before lands were set up into fixed colonies, people were free to roam and sail as they pleased. However, this is not to say that discrimination did not exist, and some were killed when they entered into foreign borders. The same holds true today in the United States of America, not necessarily due to discrimination but due to the immigration laws that were put into practice in 1790, beginning with the Naturalization Act. While it is safe precaution to make sure who enters the country and what their motives are, many are being denied the access to the American dream. It is because of this that the U.S. must take a step back and reevaluate their immigration policies.

The specific topics I will be talking about is the unfairness of life of an Immigrant family in the United stated of America. While also providing my own life and struggles of income for the family and first generation children, in this case me. Also the struggle of simultstaly going

they have to it, and lure of the “adolescent peer culture, and aspirations to join the American mainstream culture”(Munguia, 7). In addition, the parents of the immigrant students and other members of the family have very different understandings and attitudes about the American school system and how they operate. Some of these ideas and thinking reflects the parents/family member’s own experiences with schools, cultural and religious values, and the reasons why they left their country of origin to come to the United States. Correspondingly, their involvement and engagement with the inside their homes, new culture and with the school can vary. Moreover, if the youngsters learn to cope in the new environment faster than their parents do, they

So many people attempt to come into the United States every year. From Central America, 400,000 migrants attempt to make it into the U.S every year.

I think that if you are an immigrant child the pressures that are put on you are different than the pressures if you are a child from a middle-class family in America.

Many single mothers suffer everyday because if not being able to meet their needs.These mothers have American kids that will help our future. Immigrant single mothers should receive help from the government because they aren’t employable and many job owners take advantage of these immigrants mothers.
