I Am The First Generation Immigrant Parents

Decent Essays
I am the first-born son of first generation immigrant parents. Through there sacrifice I have been able to complete my bachelors in Management for Loyola and my Masters of Science in Software Engineering. Outside of my professional and educational life I have always been a person how like to give back to my community. Now what is different about me is that I practice my good deeds by helping people outside of the realm of community centers. I believe that charity doesn’t always have to be within the realm of charity organizations. As a global citizen of this earth, I believe that charity also must be at arm’s length. Some of my charity works include helping non-English speaking and reading people with their documents and giving them advice

    I have donated time in my city, state, country and internationally. Through the many opportunities that I have had for community service, I have been able to broaden my views, and look outside my community at how others experience our world. I have visited very diverse communities ranging from the inner city of Detroit, MI to a small, economically depressed village in Honduras, to the mountains of Pennsylvania and inside homes very different from mine in my own…

    In the past few years, I’ve volunteered with a variety of organizations from National Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, and Key Club. I have also co-founded a Community Outreach Club at high school. Through the Church I’ve assisted with Vacation Bible School and middle school retreats. One of my favorite memories came from volunteering for the first time with National Spanish Honor Society. Choosing to participate in this program was not a difficult decision, since I knew I wanted to continue practicing my Spanish and volunteer in the community at the same time.…

An example we see of this is in source B, it says “ Charity helps the recipient with their problem, but it doesn’t fix the cause of that problem. ”(Source B, Para 4). The world needs to fix its problems before it can begin to help those that are suffering.…

    common in later immigrant generations as if it is an Americanized thing. While talking back is not what Angelica hopes Patty learns to do she does hope that Patty learns to defend and express herself as a way of protection.

Patty responded with, “this would be when my mom took my phone away for talking back despite coming home with straight A’s and not getting into any type of trouble.…

    Becoming An Immigrant

    It is argued that immigrants should have to assimilate to the culture of the new country they are migrating to rather than not assimilating and going about their daily lives the way they normally do. However, not very many people discuss the ways in which immigrants can learn how to assimilate and what assimilating in entails. Learning the language of the new country is just one step in integrating into that country, along with becoming a citizen and the steps that come with it, and getting any documents you may need for that country. Along with German, Spanish, Italian, French, and Dutch, English is one of the easiest languages to learn.…

    I am a raccoon, as you see me right now. Roaming around the garbage bins, breaking open the richly filled garbage bags, sniffing around for the stinking remains that will become my luxurious rations to share with my little ones. Sometimes I am lucky. I can find a wet watermelon shell with some melon seeds stuck on to it. I bring them to my little ones, prancing surreptitiously to avoid unnecessary attention, and bit the juicy peels into smaller sizes, chewing into manageable softness and feed each of my babies.…

It was an anxiety felt by the whole family not just my parents. My parents, brother, and I endured many of these times throughout the years I’ve been growing up.

    Although my mother and I have had countless conversations about her previous life experiences, I was surprised at how much I did not know prior to this interview. I had never thought to ask her about what networks and resources she used to adjust to her new lifestyle in the United States. Our conversation made me realize the importance of friends, family and professionals to shape her as an immigrant parent. Growing up, she was not only a mother but a mentor to me—she supported me endlessly and helped me overcome my challenges as an adolescent. Her story begins with her life in South Korea.…

    To assist is to help someone with money, resources, or information. The food pantry has allowed me to assist impecunious people who may not be as blessed as me. The food pantry broadened my mind as I was able to connect with people who came, and earn a new understanding of the benefits that people can gain from serving their community. Through my community hours at the food pantry I realized what my work did for me, the community and how it was throughout history.…
