Valentino And Other Sudanese Immigrants

As the daughter of a West African native, I have come to appreciate the rich heritage that permeates the globe – in America, Africa, Asia, and other countries. Immigrants move around the world and share their culture and immerse themselves in the cultures of others. Years ago, my mother migrated to America from Nigeria to better her life for my brothers and I. When she moved to the United States she later learned that life in the states was going to very different. I witnessed and tried to help her in her struggle with her speech and understanding the way things worked. She finally Americanize most of her ways, adapting to the different environment and cultures. She has used some of her skills and heritage with her family and in the workplace.

Where are you from? It is a simple question yet; it is difficult to answer as an immigrant who has lived in multiple places. I was born in Lagos, Nigeria. A few years after my birth, my dad's job required my family to move to the United States. My family first "settled" down in Walnut Creek, California; however, less than a year later, we moved down to Houston where just like in California, we lived for less than a year before being catapulted to the beautiful yet cold country to the north of the border: Canada. After living in so many places and being exposed to many different societies, I never found a culture that I fully identified with. Instead, I now identify as not only a first generation Nigerian immigrant but also as a global citizen.

Arabs have been coming and settling in the United States for quite a while. In fact, Arabs have been coming here for hundreds of years. Spanish explorers brought Arab slaves to the United States in as early as the 15th Century.

As humans we believe that we are unique and there is nobody in the world who is exactly the same as us. However our uniqueness originates from our life experiences and these events we experience drive us towards certain characteristics that mark who we are. No matter how unique you may feel there is likely someone else in the world who has gone through similar situations.

Since 1983, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) and the Sudanese government have been at war within the southern region of Sudan. This brutal conflict has ravaged the country claiming hundreds of lives and exiling a vast number of the southern Sudanese people. Most of these outcasts were young men aging between five and twelve who were tending cattle to return home to see their village being attacked and their villagers being killed. These boys fled not knowing what they would encounter on the journey to escape the violence in their own country. Hungry, frightened, and weak from their long and hellish journey, the boys finally reached refugee camps outside of Sudan. Even though many young men were killed on their multiple

My mother’s experience migrating to Australia from Poland was quite different to the journey Gino and Angelo experienced. The reason for Gino and Angelo ‘s migration was that their parents died, my mother and her family left Poland because of the situation Poland was in. The only similarity between my mothers experience and Gino and Angelo’s experience was that my mother had her brother and uncle already living in Australia in the same way Gino and Angelo had their aunty and uncle in Australia. This was helpful to my mother and her family as they had help settling into their new life in Australia. My mother was not married by Proxy. She met my father through mutual friends once she had been in Australia for about five years.

My dad teaching me how to drive is a dream. Seeing him come home every night from work is a dream. His attendance at my graduation later this year is a dream.

As a country, the United States has propagated an image of a "melting pot" of all human ethnicities. One of the many groups of people who have chosen the United States to be their home is that of the Arab Americans. This ethnicity typically describes those of ancestry from the Middle East, but this group can have a wide range of religious and cultural beliefs from different countries. Often Arab Americans are perceived to all have similar appearances, however phenotypically they can range from "people with blonde hair, blues eyes, or kinky hair and dark skin" (Alimahomed, 2011). The experience of Arab Americans changed drastically after the September 11th attacks on American soil in 2001. This paper attempts to explore the effects

Another thing that was very detailed in this chapter was the immigrants overall journey and experience while traveling. Due to the many attempts they go through because they are caught and deported various times along the way they eventually learn tricks and shortcuts in the streets and on the trains. Enrique and many of the other immigrants have an idea of which paths to take and they know where they’ll find bandits, gangs, and police and therefore they try to avoid them at all costs. They are also aware of the residents in the towns and whether they’d be more sympathetic towards them and help them out or whether they will send them away with nothing to eat. The immigrants also know that if they ask for food by themselves rather than in groups

It had been a few weeks since the incident, but, I still couldn't take my mind off of it. It was atrocious. It was midnight and I was restless. I kept tossing and turning. Finally, I sat up and sighed. I heard whispering, but, it was pitch black and I couldn't see a thing. The whispering got loud enough for me to hear. It was Mother and Father. "I only earned a few cents this week. I don't think it'll help pay off our debts." Father whispered. He sounded disappointed in himself. "It's not your fault," Mother replied. "Why don't you look for another job? I've heard that the number of jobs has increased ever since immigrants like us have come to the United States." "Even if I find another job, I won't be able to escape the grueling conditions

Dozens of Iraqi nationals have been arrested for potential deportation, many of them including Christians, in Detroit on Sunday, according to numerous reports. Many estimates say about 40 have been arrested, while some reports estimate as many as 80.

The one story that opened my eyes was ali because she came to America and figured out how to speak. The immigrants were very scared to come to America. They had to learn a lot of things to come here. They had to get an education. They also need money to pay to get the education so they have to work for the money.

When talking about all the horrifying incidents she never froze or delayed her answers. When I asked her about a memorable moment during her experience she said, “I remember walking for days and on one of the days I came across a rabbit, I was really excited to play with it because I was the youngest and had noone to play with” (Guled). I could see the innocence in Kadra face, because she was smiling as she was talking about it. A gruesome massacre leaves your country shattered and misplaced and all she could remember was a rabbit. I think that is hope for her country that no matter what they’ve been through there is hope.

The Olympics, which comes every 4 year and gives both happiness and despair at the same time to countries, is proceeded by harmony from various countries in the world. Last year in 2016, among the many countries participating in the Rio, Brazil Olympic games, there was a remarkable team which were named the ‘Refugee Olympic Athletes’. For the first time since the Olympics started in 1896, they participated in the same league as the other teams. It was organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to recognize the global refugee crisis. The refugee squad consisted of two Syrian refugee swimmers, two Congo refugee judo players, one Ethiopian refugee marathoner, and five South Sudanese middle-distance runner refugees. Every sportsman
