Road Trip To America

The two arguments, Coming and Going: Round-Trip to America by Mark Wyman and Permanently Lost: The Trauma of Immigration by Victor Greene provides readers with an insight about the crucial labor conditions, the physical and mental deformities, and the struggles to gain a small fortune immigrants from various countries faced during their stay in America. In Wyman’s argument, the author focused on the harsh living/ working conditions immigrants experienced while building up a new, industrialized nation. Despite such cruel conditions, the author acknowledges the fact that immigrants chose to be mistreated and work for low wages in hopes to save enough fortune to take back to their homelands. In Greene’s argument, the author focuses on the sorrow

In Round-Trip to America: The Immigrants Return to Europe 1880-1930, Mark Wyman argues that many new immigrants that migrated to America from 1880-1930 never intended to make America a permanent residence and many of them returned home to their native countries. He claims that this phenomena is important to the history of American Immigration and is important to the histories of the home land in which the immigrants returned to. In his book, Wyman explores some key ideas such as the reason immigrants decided to voyage to a new land, across the ocean, to what was known as the “land of milk and honey” only to return to their small, and a lot of the time rural village. He also discusses American labor movement and what impact that had on

Becoming a member of society is shown a lot through your interactions with others. Not having these interactions would cause us to miss out on many things in life. Meeting new people can change our lives in positive ways and we will never know unless we talk to them. When do we learn about the importance of interacting? and how do we learn to branch out? They are not taught directly in school. It may be able to be said that it is the parent's job to make sure that their child is well equipped with the answers. The only problem is that there is a limit of learning that can come from explaining to someone. That is why I feel that it is important for everyone to have experiences that open them up to the world. For me, the questions were answered

religious persecution. America was a great place to travel to, because of its freedom of religion bill, which was passed in 1786. This bill allowed anyone to have the religion they desired, and also granted

I have never known a time in my life where I have not gone to church. With that being said, it’s not my largest priority. I tend to get distracted during the school year with deadlines and hanging out with friends. It’s when I’m able to go on a mission trip that I can truly show and see what I believe in. I have been on four mission trips altogether and this summer I took a leap of faith and left the country for the first time to serve. Nicaragua held the same focuses as trips in the United States, but what I consider a mission trip from my experience in the past was not what this trip had in store.

Shannon L. Alder once said, “If you were born with the ability to change someone’s perspective or emotions, never waste that gift. It is one of the most powerful gifts God can give- the ability to influence.” This quote above has always been my favorite line of admiration. Up until now, I have been influenced by a lot of people, but the person that I admire most is my older sister, Nhi.

Even though I have been to Ethiopia few times I was really little, So I never realized what I was actually experiencing. the first few times I have been there I remember the Rainy mornings and nights the muddy grounds and the crazy thunderstorms which you can here so loudly like rocks hitting the tin roof. I remember walking to get everywhere, eating Ethiopian food and buying things from stores and sellers on the streets.At the time of the trip, I took when I was little It did not Really seem like much of America was different from Ethiopia. I always thought no matter where you go that life was a breeze. That you could wake up go to school or work come back to your family and have a nice day but clearly, that was not the case for everybody

In the 5 days that it took me to travel to Oregon, I drove into my new found homeland in a land where the young go to retire with a sense of understanding that this small trip across the united states of america has impacted my life dramatically. I highly recommended and you can ask anyone that everyone that lives in the united states needs to have a cross country trip around the united states, and I know people complain that gas is expensive with excuses for everything. We won't focus on that, because those people don't want to do anything! Instead let me tell you that I went through not including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and finally Oregon,

The road trip to Mexico was very cool as a nine year old kid. I seen many families leaving the United States to visit their families they left behind in Mexico. I have seen License plaques from all over the country, I have seen states like New York, Illinois and even Washington. It was weird to see so many kids like me going to visit their grandparents for the first time like I did. I saw a lot of people at the border, since we were waiting to get our passports checked for so long. I felt safe knowing that we were not the only ones visiting during Christmas

I had never traveled to America before I received the acceptance and went to Michigan Tech to spend 6 years in chemical engineering Ph.D. program. What I know about America most from movies, articles and the story from my friends who are experienced in traveling to America. Every story is interesting and fascinating such as technology, people, nature, society and freedom. If I had a chance to select the country to pursue Ph.D., of course, my only one choice would be America.

Since the beginning, it’s been the trees. When I was very young, my mother would load my sisters and I into the car at 4am, wrap us in seatbelts, and tuck us back in with pillows and blankets. We’d sleep until the morning, and by then, half the road trip would be over. At least that was the plan. I never slept. I stayed awake to capture the moment the desert of Nevada turned into the forests of northern California so I could see the trees. Their leafy arms stretched into the dark, so tall I couldn’t see their tops, and I would feel their green comfort, a peace that they alone held the secret to.

“I’m really in Africa,” I’d kept reminding myself, as if to confirm what was really happening (pinch me!). Stepping off the plane, I didn’t feel altered. To be honest, I felt like I wasn’t miles from home, just at a summer camp of sorts.

I just hated the car ride from Illinois to New York. Not to mention that Pennsylvania is the worst state to drive through. It was worth it to see my Aunt and new uncle and the baby but before that let’s recap. Mom, Lauren and I are in the car on our way to see my aunt Meghan but she lives in New York and we live in Illinois. When we get to New York we go to the hospital and she my aunt. As we get to the room she is in the bathroom and her water breaks. We are out in the hallway because the nurses are trying to see if there’s any complications.

I relate the time before flying to America to a dentist’s waiting room: Sitting on an uncomfortable chair while trying to distract myself, nervous of what was about to come. Thus, I totally refuted to talk or even think about the entire experience, and my sole consolation was that I would be back in less than a year, or that I thought. My fear of not being accepted initially held me back, being also afraid of giving up the sense of belonging. Today, after fifteen months living in the states, I can assert that losing part of my identity as Spanish to adapt to the US has been the key element on my self-acceptance. And that is the essence of my journey: Building a flexible personality to be seen as both American and Spanish.

up the phone and rang my Tom’s father to thank him, and for me and Tom
