Essay About Moving To America

The people in America are given something that not everybody's given. A chance to be successful and to survive, and most countries are not given that chance. Being in America offers a lot to the people. One of the most important right America offers to America is the chance to be ourselves and to live in a place were small wars are not going on between states or communities.

I walked around unsteadily all day like a lost baby, far away from its pack. Surrounded by unfamiliar territory and uncomfortable weather, I tried to search for any signs of similarities with my previous country. I roamed around from place to place and moved along with the day, wanting to just get away and go back home. This was my first day in the United States of America.

Prior to moving to the United States, my life was less challenge and much easier. I was not an independent person. I did not know to do a lot of things in the past. For instance, I could not cook, I never took bus, I did not know where to get an ID or a driver license, and I was not sure where to fix my scooter if it was broken. I simply made a phone call to either my father or my mother, and they handled everything for me.

We planned cook-out dinners, baby showers

I've been meaning to write, but work has been mighty tiring. Sally and I are in good health thanks be to God. I was also blessed to find both lodging and gainful employment. Our living arrangements are modest. Sally and I share two rooms in an attic for which we pay $4 a month. We live in what is called tenement housing.

Sally and I have been lucky enough to avoid getting sick, but with people living so close to together and houses being packed closer together than sardines I fear that our luck will run out soon. We try our best to keep our home tidy, but there is not much we can

My family didn’t really have much, we lived a simple life and going to a private school was very costly. My parents always wanted me and my sister to get the best education we can possibly get so they sent us both to a Private school, although we knew they could barely afford it.

The places people grew up are significant to the development of the person they’re today. In my life travelling from state to state has helped develop me into a more understanding person of how the world works in different ways. In my travels of moving from Hawaii, Maryland, California and now Florida, I have been engulfed in all the United States has to offer from these very different places. The travels I took were built upon the culture, the sights, and the education from these states.

Having come from a different country, the ways of the life and speech and culture are different from what I thought will be the same or like this country.

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.

Those who immigrate to another country have many reasons for why they want to leave the country where they are from. Religious freedom would be one reason someone might want to immigrate from their home country. Another someone might want to immigrate would be the opportunities that the united states has to offer, here in the united states we have so many job opportunities that are welcome for anyone to apply for. When moving from another country to America those people think they will get a job just for migrating here that is not the case, most people who migrate here are uneducated and have little to no work experience.

They had to come survive somewhere, especially if they had another mouth to feed.

Therefore, my parents were encouraged to make the decision of moving to the United States for a better style of living.
