Memorable Experience

I had remarkable experienced before I moved here in USA. I was getting ready for new life in different country. In 2012, I did all my legal immigration paper work after I had decided to migrate. On August, I got all confirmation letters from the government and date for flight as well. I had just few more weeks to be with my friends, relatives, and native soil. I had faced hard time to decide and leave everyone until I came USA.

    Summary: Permanently Lost: The Trauma Of Immigration

    For this assignment I have chosen to look more in depth at Immigration in the late nineteenth century until early twentieth century, and how this life changing experience was handled by different ethnic groups. In turn I will compare and contrast the essays of Victor Greene and Mark Wyman who both portray immigration in their own light. Victor Greens’s essay titled “Permanently Lost: The Trauma of Immigration” uses tools such as music and ballads to display how immigration effected certain ethnic groups and their families. While Mark Wyman’s “Coming and Going: Round - Trip to America” focuses on pamphlets given out in the workforce and more concrete evidence as to how and why immigration took place the way it did. To my mind Wyman’s use…

    Immigrant Personal Statement

    Since an early age, I have always wanted to be involved with health sciences, and I have work as hard as I can to accomplish this dream. I was born into a Hispanic family, and raised in way that puts values ahead of money or economic status. I did not enjoy the luxuries that many of my friends had, but I was taught very strong principles. My father always taught me to work hard no matter what, weather it was for a job, school or a hobby. He always told me that I will encounter many rocks in my path, but that it would be up to me to stay behind that rock and let the rock defeat me, or I could just find a way to continue on my path until the next rock.…

    Personal Narrative: Based Off Immigrants

    In America most people are composed of diverse nationalities. Each person has a story behind their eyes, such as how they got to the United States and where they came from. If someone were to guess my specific nationality based off my generic name and pale skin color, most likely the guess would be Irish or Norwegian. In reality, my nationality is from all over, my closest and most recent ancestor from Italy. America is a country entirely based off immigrants, which means everyone has a different origin and backstory.…

    David Cole's Five Myths Of Immigrants

    David Cole in “Five Myths about Immigration” simply takes about the five common myths of immigration in the United States. The five myths being that immigrants are overrunning the country, immigrants take jobs from natural born citizens, immigrants drain societies resources, aliens and immigrants don’t assimilate to our culture, and immigrants are not entitled to constitutional rights.
