Personal Experience: The Benefits Of Integrating To The United States

Since my younger years I have been compelled to differentiate between enduring and overcoming. From my parent’s divorce, our financial instability and my multiple social dislocations, I had to learn to adapt to ever-changing environments and circumstances. Before my grandfather died he shared with me one of his favorite quotes and one that I will never forget, which says that, “the key to life is found by

If I had to recall my memory of living in Haiti, hardship is the word that comes to mind. I remember days where my mom didn’t have money to buy food for me and my sister, I remember days where I couldn’t go to school because my mom didn’t have the money to pay for it, I remember being sent home from school for not being able to afford the books and I remember having to move in with my uncle because my mom wasn’t able to afford the rent. Entering the United States took away many of those sufferings. Hunger wasn’t a problem neither was education. A major difference is that school was for free, all you had to do was show up and learn. My family continued to face tough circumstances in the United States. We lack the basic necessities, we didn't have any car, we resided in low class apartments and neither of my parents spoke English. As a result, we struggle to stay on our feet and up to date with things. I believe all those misfortune that I went through was meant to make me stronger. It allowed me to be resilient and bounce back. Many people would use their past and what they faced as reasons to give up but not I. My past is the reason why

In the article by Hansen it looks at how it is not right for the U.S. to try to keep all of these people out and that they could help fill the jobs that no one wants but there are groups out there that will try to keep them out. The article looks at how there is a more humane option for the government to look at that would allow guest workers to remain in the country temporarily. This could eventually allow them a way to get citizenship if they want to stay in the country. This view provides at little recognition for those people who believe that it could mess up America’s culture. This is a more humane route and it is morally right. It also represents an effort for a good solution to the externalities of the open borders that people believe in, as opposed to the people who believes in a closed border type of plan.

Proceeding to a different country is in, step forward to your life, but it can also be different from your original habits. If I were to travel to a different country, I would move to England for its good community. In that location would be trials for me to overcome my different habitats. Becoming a citizen will be a struggle to adjust to but it's not impossible to surmount.

Jose advices people who are thinking to immigrate in the United States that they should because of the opportunities, but to work hard and accomplish the goal they are coming for. For example if they come because of poverty then they need to make sure they accomplish something that will help their family back home. Because, why will you leave your family to immigrate to a new country and in the end do not do anything to make a change or impact in your family.

I come from the small island of Cuba; I was born and raised there as did my parents and my grandparents. When I was ten and we moved to the United States I didn’t think much of it, in my mind I was still Cuban and living in another country would not change my childhood thoughts. While growing up in the U.S. it seemed that whenever an immigrant issue came about all immigrants from all parts of the world had to stand behind it no matter what it was no matter if beneficial or troublesome. I used to think that these actions were justified because all immigrants had to stand up for each other otherwise nobody would.

Eating, drinking, walking, being, if you are an immigrant those are privileges not a right. If you live a mile south of an imaginary line you don’t have the rights to a proper education or a job that pays enough to live. If you are tan all year round you can’t eat at a pizza place without getting stares. If you can’t speak english, even though that’s not even the national language, you are an outcast, a menace, an alien. There are four, specific, boys out there that even though all these odds were stacked against them they succeeded. They prevailed even when they weren’t suppose to. Even when Uncle Sam said no.

Adjusting to the United States can be challenging for immigrants from other cultures and countries, but if you learn English, go to American schools, and watch or attend sporting events, life will be much lighter on your back. Learning English is an easy task, since everyone around you speaks this native language and there are many easy classes and courses. Going to American schools can also benefit your ability to speak our native language, and you can befriend Americans to show you how they live, and their customs. Schools teach you about America and how it became a whole, as well as the culture. Watching and going to sporting events can help immigrants adjust to American culture because it gives commonality and it encourages dialogue between immigrants and Americans. It is the connecting piece that bridges the two cultures together. Its an easy task, because anyone can talk and be excited about a home run! What is more American than

On October 22, 2001 my parents made the sacrificial decision of moving to the United States in hopes of providing a brighter future for my brother and I. Coming from a country where education and healthcare were not considered a right, but rather a privilege, I have had the misfortune of witnessing the discernible impact that detrimental poverty has on the overall health of a population. That being said, from very early on I promised myself to never take advantage of the sacrifices my parents have endured, the freedom I have attained, and the education I have received.

Relocating to America offers renewed hope from an otherwise hopeless situation. Imagine coming to America after losing your family and home in China. The opportunity to start over after losing everything would require persistence and devotion. It would take a great deal of effort to gain status within the

While attending my spring semester at Loyola University, I had the opportunity to engage in a service-learning project. Improving the lives of local Marylanders in need allowed me to get in touch with the community that surrounded my university. The Esperanza Center allowed me to increase my intercultural experience through their adult English language tutoring that they have to offer. The center is an immigrant resource center that offers the hope and essential services to people who are new to the United States. Transnational migration has truly shaped the United States of America for what it is, and with the amount of culture that has been brought upon the country. Though, there are many issues throughout the country

Would most people put their lives in a challenging situation to learn something valuable? Despite the fact that relocating to another country is difficult; adapting and learning the culture of that country could be time-consuming. Two years ago I came to this beautiful country, and I encountered a challenging cultural barrier. Although I initially struggled when coming to the United States, I accepted the challenge. The most exacting aspect of this challenge for me was to overcome my anxiety about collaborating with people. However, I took many steps to conquer this problem. The first step I took to overcome this cultural barrier was to seek an intelligent friend who could spend their time to work with me. Therefore, after a tremendous effort

It does not surprise me that so many women and children at least attempt to take the trip from Central America or Mexico to the United States. I absolutely agree with it because money and jobs are an issue for mothers and sometimes fathers, and living conditions are terrible. It’s a constant struggle to make money and live without a worry, therefore moving to the US is smart and eventually safe. Along with money is clothing, shoes, ect. The quality and prices of such things in the US is much better than in the Central America/Mexico area. Making the trip to the United States isn’t always safe, but when you get there things seem to get easier. Not to mention family or friends that they have not seen in weeks, months or years. Nobody would like
