Only me and my sister moved to United States three years ago. Since my parents are not here in United States, I have to live with my aunt and her family. Living with other people and not with my family is really uncomfortable but I have to endure it since I have no other choice. Neither of my parents went to college, both of my parents are working day and night in Indonesia with the salary that is inadequate. The money that my parents earned by working day and night is still way less than the minimum wage workers here in United States. This actually motivated me to continue my education through college and study harder. My parents have always thought me the value of education since I was young and I know that education is the key to be succeed. They have always made me to never give up despite of our family’s status. …show more content…
The salary that my parents got, can only afford their basic living expenses and also contribute some of the rest to my and my sister’s college tuition, which is obviously not enough. To help paying my college tuition, I work on the weekends (three days a week) at a grocery store with a minimum wage paying. I am so thankful to my parents for letting me go to college and pursue my life goals despite our financial conditions. Although many times I have been thinking to drop out of school, but there is no way that I could do that because of all the sacrifices that my parents had. My family has made many sacrifices for me to give me an opportunity to be able to enter college. And because of their sacrifices, I am able to focus on my study, though I am in need of financial assistance to realize what has been my parents’ dream and my life ambitions. I do not want my parents’ sacrifices to be nothing, but I want to make something out of it, so that it will be beneficial for me, my parents, and the
I congratulate you on picking a poem for your thesis. You did a great job of picking lines that exemplified your point for the X. You focused on three main quotes that where short enough that it was clear what you meant without being so short context was completely lost. If that section where you describe the pathos in the poem is your Y, then you did a good job supporting and laying out the foundations of an argument. As previously stated there is need to clarify which section of your paragraph is your X, Y, and Z. For the most part having better tags (signifiers that show you are moving on to the next part of the paragraph such as however, in contrast, complicating this) and structure (keep things relevant, do not put in sentences that reference

Trent Shelton said “ The right decisions are always the hardest to make. But they must be made in order to live the life you deserve “. What Trent really means is everyone has to make a decision to live a better life. For example, moving to America makes my life a lot better than living in Thailand refugee camp. Sometime I was wondering what would happen to me and my family if we didn’t come to America?

Transitioning from the Democratic Republic Of Congo to the United States was a challenge that my family and I had to overcome. The main reason why we moved was because my father wanted a better life for my siblings and me. My father did not make enough money to pay for our education, food, housing, and other things. With the little money that he did make, he would give some to my mom so she could buy clothes and sell them in order to put food on the table. More often than not my mom was unable to sell anything so, we would go to my uncle's house to see if he could provide us with at least rice to eat with sugar. In my family's eyes, at least, the rice was better than not eating at all. One day, my father's friend called him and told him that there was a lottery game people were playing and if you won, you would be given the chance to go to the United States. My dad was the only one from my family who was allowed to play and after eight months had passed we were informed that we won! We were all so happy and ready to start a new life in America! The new excitement about moving to a better
I was born and raised in Vietnam. At the age of thirteen, my family decided to move to America for living. The story of my life has no different than other immigrant students. The story of how parents decided to give up everything that they had built for years and came to another country for a fresh new start. The story of how people like me, immigrants, got mocked and discriminated for our broken English. The story of how I cried mostly everyday because I did not fit in within the society. And the story of how I struggle to find something that my family originally came to this country for, the American Dream. The story of my life is not original, at least not anymore, since there are a lot of people in this nation have the same story as I
Could you ever imagine leaving behind everything you love and going to an unknown world just to have a better life and opportunity? Though this was a tough decision to make, my family and I had to leave behind everything, including all my relatives and friends just so we could all have a new and better beginning. I am from the Chin land of Burma with a population of approximately 478,801. For centuries, Chin people have undergone the brutal treatment of the Burmese soldiers and government. Because of this, Chin State has the highest poverty rate and many Chin people have lost our language.
The United States is made up of immigrants. People have been migrating for years trying to obtain the American dream. In other countries people are less fortunate than us here in America. It is hard for them to be successful. It is also hard for them to provide for their families.
While I was growing up, I lived in many places. I was born in Budapest, Hungary and lived there until my father finished his medical degree when I was two years old. Soon after, for financial reasons, my family and I moved to the United States. First we lived in Missouri for five years, next we moved to North Carolina to be closer to our family. Periodically we returned to Hungary to visit relatives. With each visit, I learned more and more about Hungary, the language, and European culture. Luckily my mother had the wisdom to take my brothers and I back to Hungary to do a year of schooling there. That single year expanded my perspective of the world, it was no longer the United States as a separate entity from the rest of the world, but it

As a young child, I was raised in my home country of Mexico where I had many great friends and a joyful style of living. However, my parents didn't see life in Mexico as fortunate as I did. To them it was more important whether we were economically stable, rather than playing every afternoon with neighbors. My parents believed our way of living in Mexico wasn't stable and there were very few opportunities of becoming successful in a country where you don't live life, but survive life. Therefore, my parents were encouraged to make the decision of moving to the United States for a better style of living.
Many come to the United States of America for a better future or in search of the “American Dream”. My family and thousands of people in this Country are living or are still searching for the American Dream. I was born in the the spectacular city of Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico and lived in a village till I was 4 years old. My parents immigrated to the United States to give my siblings and I a better life, one that they lacked as children. I remember as I was entering kindergarten I did not know English and was not placed in ESL nor dual language.
After finding out that I will be residing in the United States, I began to ask myself, how this culture shock will affect me. Will I make friends? How is the educational system there? Will I be able to succeed in college being a foreigner? There were hundreds of concerns rushing through my mind and I found myself clueless about them.
It can be a bit stressful traveling or even relocating to a new environment. There is a lot of preparation that goes into visiting another country and experience another culture that different from your own. The very first thing that a person should do before traveling to a different part of the world is to learn the culture to which they will be attending. There is nothing scarier than going into an environment you never been before blind, not knowing what to expect. I can remember the first time I left the United States enroute to Okinawa, Japan.
