Personal Experience: My Immigration To The United States

My family comes from a humble background. My grandmother started working at the age of 13, with small jobs in order to feed her siblings. My grandfather worked many hard labor jobs in order to provide for our family. With my grandfather’s hard work, he was able to bring my grandmother, my two uncles, my father, my mother, my brother and I into the U.S. My grandparents decided to migrate to the U.S because in Mexico, they had nothing. They had enough to eat but they were still struggling to come out of poverty. When my grandparents migrated into the U.S my grandfather would still work a blue collar job, until he fractured his spine and couldn't work anymore. Nevertheless, that did not stop him from working. He began selling in swap meets, selling

I came to US during my 8th grade and that was a life changing moment in my life. It was first time traveling aboard and that also not for a trip but for to permanent settlement. I was nervous my whole time been in the plane that how I will cope up with new environment and with bunch of English speakers. I got more. When it came pilot call for, that it's time to land on the Detroit Airport, tighten your seatbelts and be relax. As soon as the plane landed on American soil, I knew that this was the place where I’d to start a new life. Even though I knew America is the “Land of Opportunity”, everything here seemed so strange to me, the streets, the language and the people that was my first time traveling abroad.

I believe that the ability to understand the world around you can tremendously influence a person. I have had the honors to experience many situations that broadened my perspectives in life. When I immigrated to America in 2006, I had no clue how greatly my education will be affected. Because my parents did not know any English, I had to accomplish all the work by myself. I understood their struggles of trying to put dinner on the table so I tried not to complain. They had given up their old life in Vietnam to give me a better education and opportunities, I did not want their effort to go in vain. Through my whole academic career, I pushed myself to do everything to my fullest potential because I have been given the opportunity that many other

Coming back to the U.S. for the second time in my life after nine years was perhaps one of the most challenging obstacles I have ever had to face. Not only did I have to accustom myself to the language but also to a newer, differentiated culture. Also, with that came some bullying and taunting that did not pull me down but instead opened my eyes to see what a strong and enduring person I could be. With help from my teachers and my supporting family as they helped buffer my experience and transition to a different world, I was able to overcome the typical immigrant challenge that thousands have to face.

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.

International Borders in Search of a Better Life: Examining the Psychological Impact of the Immigration Experience, a joint journal comprised of several notable University publications. (Torres Fernández et al., 2) This particular study uses the primary work of Manuel Casas published in 2014, using interviews as the main premise of the immigration experience. Four participants were introduced to the experiment with similar backgrounds, all coming from Latin American countries.

In life there is sudden way when you interact with different kinds of people. As an immigration to this country when I came here first everyone was new experienced to me because I had confuse what to talk and how to talk with those kinds of people. Culture here is different and every situation here is different than my past life.in united states I get to meet more than 15 different kinds of people from 15 different country, but each and everyone have different experience than other.

I moved to United States an year ago since my family immigrated to US in 2013. Initially, I struggled to get adjusted to the new environment and culture. But within months, I adapted to the new environment, which boosted my confidence in myself that I can react positively to a change and make most out of it. In Texas, I live by myself as I attend South Plains College and work two part time jobs. I believe the decision I have taken to move to Texas, leaving my family in Missouri, helped me to be an independent and strong woman. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Math and Physics from the fourth ranked University in India. Furthermore, I was honored to work as a Student Director as well as the Script writer of my University Theater team

When I first migrated to United States, everything was very new to me. I had no idea how things worked in this country. In India, things were very different from here. In the United States, I had trouble with my grades because I didn't understand much English, so the assignments were very difficult. I showed determination and perseverance throughout my years in middle school. I had to stay after school and get some extra help. I read numerous books to gain more interest in Language Arts. I eventually started making A's. Now, as a 8th grade I am presently making all A's.

I was born in India. I was raised in Punjab state. I spent almost 17 years of my life in Punjab. I lived in India with my family. When I was 17 and half, me and my family moved from India to the United States. We immigrated to United States in 2016. Moving and adjusting into a new and different environment is not very easy. There are a lot of differences between these two nations. The language, education, work or job, living standard of people are the major differences that I have seen in these two nations. In 1947 after the British rule in India, a partition was happened in Punjab splitting it into two parts “West Punjab and East Punjab”. The West Punjab was given a name new of Pakistan. My great-grandparents used to live in West Punjab before

Additionally, I have also played tennis in my school’s tennis team during my freshman and sophomore year. Besides sports, I also enjoy playing piano in my free time. My hobbies are listening to music, watching TV shows, swimming, playing tennis and cricket, playing piano, and volunteering and giving back to the community. Additionally,

Growing up, my family valued experiences over material possessions, a lesson my parents learned from their parents who immigrated the U.S. without jobs or living arrangements. When I was only three years old, my parents took me to the public pool and gave me my first swimming lessons. My chubby limbs splashed around as I tried to keep my head above water. With practice, I began swimming competitively when from the age of 10 until my junior year of high school. I enjoyed the competitive nature of the sport and performing simple movements against the resistance of the water. Under the water there is a serenity and calmness not subject to the laws of gravity. When I was forced to stop swimming competitively due to my rheumatoid arthritis, I found

I immigrated to the US, on my own, from South Africa at 14 to fulfill a childhood dream of becoming a professional dancer. For 20 years I've relentlessly pursued my passions.

Before my father migrated to America, he was living in Kuwait, working with yachts for a couple years. Then he moved to Germany and lived there for while working at a software company.

My father decided to live in America because he thought it was a better country to live than Kuwait, and Germany. It was difficult for my father when he first came to America because he had to support my sister and my mother at first while working at a Software company. Later on in life, my dad lost his job so he started working as a taxi driver and it was tough to see him
