There are 22.1 million noncitizens in America and my aunt's mother used to be one of them. This essay will tell all about it. In “American history”, Music for my Mother, and The Writing on the Wall. Being an immigrant means that to start becoming an American which meant the Cultural difference, prejudices, and to have hope.

I can remember sitting in class, feeling eyes burning through me, dodging inquisitive glances from all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring for lunchtime. As most people know, lunch is the most dreaded part of the first day at a new school. First day of school memories are still fairly vivid for me; my father was in the JAG corps in the Army and my family moved with biannual regularity. In fact, I even attended three different high schools. While this may seem highly undesirable to some, I learned an incredible amount about myself, the world, and other people through moving that I may never have learned otherwise. What I have learned about myself and the world will without a doubt contribute to my success in life and even law

How I changed from this semester to the end of the semester is that I am not turning in late work anymore because I have learned my lesson with all my teachers. I used to turn in a lot of late work and they would not count it as a grade.

The first day in the United States is one of the best day and most thrilling days in my life. My father and my older sister move to Malaysia to get a job and support our family due to financial difficulty and lack of job opportunity in Burma. After a few years, my father and my sister were able to enter as immigrant and they were sent to the United States as immigrants through United Nation. After being apart with my father and my sister for more than a decade, my parents decide to move completely to America where more opportunities are available for a brighter future. My family faces many obstacles during the process of migrating to America. Despite all the struggle that are on our way, my family finally arrives in the United States and face major changes in life.

I just wrote about immigrants Crossing Big Water, immigrants Checkpoint, and Immigrants Lives. The immigrants shouldn’t have been treated like animals, it was awful how the Americans treated the immigrants. In my opinion I think it was atrocious how the immigrants had little space to live because they left their country to live a better life in America. To conclude this essay, what is your

My family was going through a really hard time during that time. My father was not able to provide enough money to sustain all nine of us, and me being the only man out of the nine of us, I felted the responsibility to help him out. During that time, one of my uncles was planning to crossed to United States and so I crossed with him”. I followed by asking him how old was he when he immigrated and if his parents supported his decision. He began to count from the year he was born to the year he immigrated, “eighteen” he said, and “no, my parents didn’t not support my decision but I didn’t listen to them”. As the interview kept going I was engaging more and more to know about Jose’s life. I followed and asked him of his expectations of the United States and if he found what he was expecting. He answered my question by telling me that he expected what all immigrants expect of the U.S. He expected a change in his lifestyle and he expected better job opportunities, and the chance to help his family in Mexico. As to if he had found what he expected, he replied, “Si(Yes)”, this because of the freedom and the ability to change a lifestyle that the United States provide to immigrants. Jose also mentioned that he was able to help his family economically. I than asked him if there was anything that made him feel connected to his homeland culture and if so what was it. Jose answer my question by stating that on his arrival to the United States, he

The topic of my essays is “American Dream and Immigrant”. It is an interesting topic because American dream is a broad concept that includes the dream of the American nation having better, richer and peaceful life for all type of individuals in regard to their capacity and accomplishments. It is a dream that include the accomplishment of social stability and equality throughout the country in which all type of men and women are equal and shall be identified on what actually they are instead of their birth places. It is true fact that America is considered as land of dreams for whole world. People from all regions of the world came to America for attaining the peaceful and good life because America is the land where if people have perseverance, they can achieve what they want from their life. Open doors and presence of lots of opportunities, millions of immigrants came to America with a desire of freedom, free social life, better education and good jobs. Itching to live American Dream, the

I feel horribly unprepared to write a paper about immigration. I grew up on a piece of land that had been in my fathers’ family for over 160 years and in a house that my great-grandfather built in the early 1900s. In my extended family, no one has dealt with the concerns that come with immigrations. As far as I knew, no one I graduated from high school with was a first-generation immigrant either. The only direct experience I have with an immigrant family was someone a few years older than me who attended the same school. He and his family came from Moldova when he was very young. They were naturalized while he was in high school. Issues related to immigration have not significantly affected my life. As a result, it is not something that I have seriously considered in the past. When I do try to form an opinion on it, I discover that there is more I do not know than what I do know.

For my oral history project, I decided to interview my mother. I am pretty close with my mom, as we talk daily, and I am comfortable often to seek advice from her. A challenge that I faced was trying to find an appropriate date and time for the interview. My mom works six days a week, and I am often preoccupied with classes and school work. Another challenge was my mom’s hesitation with going into too much detail about her experiences. In addition, it was difficult to interview another family member such as a relative because I was not particularly close with my uncles or aunts, nor were any of them easy to contact due to variations in time zones. Furthermore, arguably one of my largest reason why I choose to interview my mom was because I never had taken the time or initiative to ask about my mom’s past. I had only knew of some general aspects, but never asked too much into detail. The oral history project was a perfect opportunity to dwell deeper into my family’s history and how they came to America.

The attitudes of the immigrants who have arrived here recently are worse compared to those who arrived here earlier because of the statics and some of the comments made about work. In the article “A Place to Call Home” it goes over how I moving to the U.S. Was the right move. Also, it talks about them fitting in. Lastly, it goes over some of the immigrants expectations.

18 things I learned in my 18 years 1. Everything changes. Nothing is permanent. What you think is important now, will be boring the hell out of you this time next year. 2. This emptiness inside of you is part of your existence. Sometimes it feels like you’re drowning, other times it’s like everything is okay and you are happy. But the emptiness is always here. With you. Accept it and it will be much easier to live your life. 3. If you think it is bad, believe me, it can get worse. There’re highs and there’re lows and it’s okay. You need to fall to learn how to get up. 4. Do not expect anything. It’s one of the most important things. The less you expect the less disappointed you feel. 5. That best friend you think is the most important

Regina Brett, a 90-year-old woman whose lessons have helped many people, shares some sage advice that everyone wants to hear. She lists 45 lessons for the world and the following are characteristics of those she considers to have a “well-lived” life: when one always remembers that even though life isn’t fair, it is still good; when one wastes no time hating others; when one doesn’t take themselves seriously; when one doesn’t feel the need to win every argument and agrees to disagree; when one starts saving for retirement with the first paycheck; when one makes peace with their past so it won’t ruin the future; when one is able to let others see them cry; when one doesn’t compare their life to others’; when one only has relationships that can

As I awoke from a good night’s rest, I usually would lay in bed for a while just gathering my thoughts and thinking about life. Some of the things that ran through my life were anything from my friends to the days of going off to college rapidly approaching. After laying for a while I would get up and head to the shower to start my day. Once I was done rinsing and cleaning my body, I would turn the shower off and dry off with a towel. When I was done drying off and putting on my clothes, I headed down the stairs to socialize with family and friends. I walked outside to sit on the porch where my dad was telling stories from whenever he was a kid. Inside I could hear my aunts, who were very flustered, discussing what else needed to be done
