Immigrant Interview

What was your understanding and perception of citizenship when you were at school, and how did that perception form?

I was born here in Chicago but was raised in a small Illinois town near Iowa. I later returned to my roots as an adult and have raised my own family in the Chicagoland area in (South Suburban) Steger, Illinois. I am a wife, mother and recently became a grandmother.

Immigration has been a controversial issue in America throughout history. Immigrants were seen as people who took jobs from Americans,and to top it off didn’t appreciate American culture. Foreigners through the decades have had difficult times fitting in with American society and are often met with hostility around the country. Going into the interview with my Chinese teacher, I believed I would hear a story along the lines of this, shedding the light on the ignorance in America, but I received the complete opposite. This interview opened my eyes to a different perspectives of the immigrant experience, and that all aren’t necessarily negative.

The reason I participated in the interview was the fact that people need to know

The four individuals chosen for this interview included two Latinas, an individual of African descent and an individual who is both Guyana and Venezuela but does not identify as Latina. Before conducting this interview I explained to the participant what the assignment consisted of and what would be asked of them for the interview portion. I told each participant that I would give them a phrase and that upon hearing the phrase, would be asked to give three words that come to mind when they hear that phrase. After the explanation, I would ask if they understood and then asked if I had their consent to participate in this activity. Once they agreed to participate in this interview, I would go to the interview. It is worth mentioning that all four participants live in the same house, so although the interviews were conducted individually, many times the other participants would listen in to the responses that the other participants would give.

A –We traveled as a family my daughters, Cindy and Louise and my husband, Jerry. We started in Independence, Missouri and on the Santa Fe trail, then we crossed over to the old Spanish trail in Santa Fe and that took us to Los Angeles, California.

I believe the employee truly believes his/ her position is at risk because of the immigrant. I would have to let the employee who the reason for the hire was because, the applicant had a set of skills no one in the U.S. currently has. I think have someone from a different country working for you allows new ideas to be introduced that you may not be used to, allowing the company to expand.

Staying connected to the Korean-American community has motivated me to keep in touch with my mother language, learn the history and culture, and to have national pride. For example, I have been fortunate enough to volunteer as a teacher's assistant for my church's Korean language school program, give speeches in the Korean Independence Day celebrations held at my local park, and play the Korean percussion instruments. Someday I want to offer a multicultural community workshop to both Korean-Americans and other minority groups to come together in the area to promote diversity and

Today I have an interview. When thinking about the possession of this position and being the only deaf person, I obtain nervousness. I have skepticism that if the boss even knows sign language, so I philosophize about how to talk to him. Bringing a translator would prevail unprofessional, yet not understanding what I'm putting forth is too. Flying out of the shower while viciously repeatedly crack my cold clammy knuckles, I could feel the anxiety rise. Slowly breath in and out one breath at a time, yet I still have a panic attack. The boss giving off a warm welcome, as I annex the office. As our own selves glared at each other, I exceed clamminess. I feel my face turning into a bright red tomato, when I sign to him that I can't hear. He is

Just wanted to provide you a brief update on my status: I had my Citizenship interview on July 18th, where everything went well. I'm currently awaiting my invitation for my Oath Ceremony which is the final step. That same day I will then receive a certificate of my Citizenship. As soon as I receive my invitation, I will let you know. Thank you for being so patient with this process of mine.

Good afternoon my name is Malik Hall and I'm currently enrolled International media. My professor gave me your contact info because one of our assignments this semester is to interview an International student. I was wondering if you could help me get in contact with an International student so I could interview them. The interview would focus on how their home country's media system

I was concerned about how this interview was going to go. I think that a clear majority of people are open to talking about more sensitive topics, but there are some people who are less comfortable about being open. Luckily, Beth was an open book and we had a great discussion. I think that when we were interviewing one another, we both just asked and answered questions without judgement. There was not one moment where I felt that either one of us were uncomfortable, it felt more like a casual discussion geared at learning more about one another, there was no judgement. As the conversation went on, I could feel that we both had a feeling of being closer and more open with one another, which was very cool!

Fort Morgan is a melting pot of different cultures and we as the students are at the center of it all. We interviewed an African refugee a while back and it gave us a lot of insight about how they came and how they are living in the community. But we came to question another group of immigrants, a group right under our noses. We interviewed Mexican immigrants. My group interviewed Mariana, a junior of Fort Morgan high school and an immigrant from Mexico. After the interview we were asked to compare the interviewee and some one in our lives that had also immigrated to the U.S..

For us it was amazing, great opportunity but also great responsibility. First time in my military career I had had full scale of freedom of action. In front of us there was nothing but blank paper and given legal and strategic framework. Making
