Immigrate To America

Difficulties? Missing my parents, brothers, and sister but I had to make my main family a priority.

Immigrating to the United States from Belarus at a young age has helped me becoming the person I am today. When my family and I moved , none of us could speak a word of English other then yes , no , hello. We started living with my aunt who had recently moved a year ago, and from there my mother did everything she could to create the better life we moved here for.

Living in the United States with a limited understanding of the English language is a challenge that countless foreigners have suffered with when pursuing a new life. Luckily for me, my parents made the decision to emigrate to America while I was only five years old. This decision allowed me to adapt to a new language while my mind was still young, and much more capable of learning it quickly. Mastering basic words and sentence structures wasn’t much of an issue, but when it came to expressing my thoughts I always felt as if lexicon was inferior to those around me. Simple and flavorless adjectives such as good, bad, and sad became were frequent options when trying to express my opinion. At the time, this never seemed to inconvenience me as I was young and

Two years ago,I got the privilege to come to America. I felt contented thinking America has the finest educational facility and supplies in the world. However, in the beginning I wasn't able to speak English well enough so I had to face many problem including bullying. Students have bullied me. I felt I was irrelevant and imbecile to them. I had meanwhile focused on keeping my grades high. I cried a lot , but I still had to go to school to pursue my dreams of becoming a medical doctor. Nevertheless It had put me in depression and I began to lose my ambitions, I was able to have an average grade of A.

During the great immigration period 1900-1920, there were many cultures that arrived on the shores of the United States, for example Italians, Portuguese, French, Spanish and Irish to name a few. These new immigrants were grateful to be here and for the opportunity to better their own lives and that of their future generations. In an attempt to assimilate most of these cultures initially practiced their old countries traditions in the privacy of their home. The reasoning behind this is, the current citizens (native) were in great opposition and feared these new immigrants. This fear from long established native born Americans was in part, from having lost

To accomplish the task of writing this Immigrant paper, I interviewed four individuals that immigrated here to the United States. I found one person who immigrated from china, one from Jamaica, and two from Italy. I found there to be quite a difference in each of the characters, especially from china to Italy.

My name is Francisco. I moved to America when I was just a little boy. I have lived in Cleveland for as long as I can remember. When I was old enough to live on my own, I bought an apartment right across the street from a vacant lot that the city seemed to use as a giant dumpster. I used to take walks every day. I would always walk by the lot and cringe at the awful smell.

The most memorable event in my life was when we moved out from Russia to a country that changes lives and is known as a dream land called the United States of America. When we sat on the airplane that was going toward the United States in August of 2004, we knew our lives are going to be changed in the way we always wanted them to. After twelve years of not going to school and being discriminated by Russian citizens, this moving to a new country was the most amazing, not just in my life generally, but for my entire family as well.

Some of the difficulties and challenges my grandma went through were flying for a long period of time. A major challenge was to leave her relatives, best friends, the society and nature. My dad just had a few things but since he was the first to settle in Canada he missed his loved ones that were with him in the past. A difficult situation for my mother was to answer the questions from the immigrant stands. Also, she was glanced down by the time, the change of money, a different environment, and seeing different people. As an example, I would say that it was her very first time meeting my dad's siblings and parents. Just like the Vikings, my family had to adapt to the climate and land. It was really hard but they have come a long

There are many Asian immigrants that come to the United States in hopes of living out their American dream of becoming United States citizens. My parents came here exactly for that same reason, so they can give my sisters and I the opportunity to live a better life. We were fortunate enough to have our relatives help us get here, making it a little less difficult for us compared to other families that took a different path to becoming citizens. However, it was not always this easy for an Asian immigrant family like ours to become naturalized citizens. It used to be near impossible for immigrants of Asian descent to become a United States citizen, but in recent years, there have been a spur of people with Asian ethnicity who are

Children oftentimes inherit physical traits from both parents, but I have inherited much more: tenacity and the ability to adjust to new conditions with ease. According to my observations, the older I get the more I am exposed to various people, places, and situations which lead to patiently adapting to certain changes. For the first fourteen years of my life, I have lived in the Philippines, but that had ceased when I had to immigrate to the United States. When I arrived here in the U.S, I knew very well that it was uncharted territory for me. This unfamiliarity gave me a considerable amount of discomfort, knowing that I am 7,000 miles away from home.

Be an immigrant changed completely my life. In match 2015 my family and I received our visa, so my parents decided to go to live to the united states because we would have a better future. It was a very difficult decision for me because I had already started a career and this means that I would change schools and I would no longer see my friends. After two months later, the day arrives, we finally would travel to the U.S. Me and my friends were so sad. The sky began to cloud and it started to rain, this made me even sadder. Then we go on the plane. During the flight, I could not stop crying. Eventually, we got to the city of Chicago. In the airport, my uncle and his friend were waiting for us. He gave us a tour of the new neighborhood in which

Mine was more of economic. When my family migrated here in the U.S. there wasn’t much jobs available for my dad. He worked as a dentist in the Philippines but jobs there didn’t pay great amount of money. He studied nursing and got his license and became a Registered Nurse here. We were all so excited because we thought that here in America, there would be a lot of job opportunities.

The most significant challenge that I faced is culture difference. Born in Indonesia, continuing education on America and being an international student has not been easy on me. This has been an issue for me when I leave high school early and when to a community college in Seattle. At that time, I was not even 18 years old and having difficulty when communicating with people.
