Personal Experience: My First Immigration To America

Decent Essays
We have finally arrived to the new land which is America. After returning to England several times I was not sure if we would ever make it. When I was able to get off the ship with my husband and children I was overjoyed with God’s grace and his goodness. The air was so fresh when I stepped off the ship. Even though it was frightening I was just glad to be off the ship. Many people had gotten seasick but I believe that the whole trip was worth it. I am finally able to worship my God and his providence freely. Now that we have finally made it to land my family will have to find somewhere to live. My people are scared because winter is coming quickly. The air is already becoming cold and we have nothing. All of our belongings are still back

    Evan Hadingham’s “America’s First Immigrants” and Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States both portray the Americas prior to the American Revolution as an odd and bewildering era. Hadingham and Zinn challenge the credibility of historical accuracy on natives of the time period, as they denounce the so-called truths people believe everyday about the topic. They address ideas by looking into different perspectives during the discovery of the Americas and analyzing different bits of data that counteract beliefs. Despite their common depiction of the Americas during the time period, Zinn and Hadingham prove their point quite differently.…

    My Family immigrated to the United States when I was just two years old. Growing up in an unknown place surrounded by a foreign language was difficult to say the least, if not for me then for my hardworking parents. This may have not been the most convenient of circumstances being raised in total isolation with no family, but it transformed me into the woman I am today. From this I have been able to appreciate my surroundings more, knowing the things people take for granted in the United States are privileges in other countries. Drivers complain about potholes in the roads, where i think of them as lucky to even have roads.…

    It was in the late 1980’s that the first of my family immigrated to America. Like most immigrants, they came to this country in search of a better life than the one they left behind. I admire my parents for having the courage to come to this country and start over from zero. For most of their lives, my parents worked in the fields picking fruit. It is a physically demanding job that pays very little.…

    The first challenge that all New Americas face is the physical move. Leaving their family roots, leaving the familiar and the disorientation that is to come. Traveling to an unknown area where you have no idea what is going to happen or how you are going to live can be a difficult obstacle. They are overwhelmed with the unknown, knowing no one, and having no one to help guide them as they settle upon a new life. Bashar, an Iraqi, came to the United States in 2009 all alone at the age of 20.…

    I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and I have never known what it was like to live in the lower forty-eight states until I attended college at Oregon State University. Of course I have traveled throughout the states many times but it was still a small culture shock when I moved. Ever since I was little I have wanted to get out of Alaska because I am a warm person and let me tell you, it’s not warm there. So when I came down here on September 20th, 2015 I thought I had finally left the state of Alaska, and pretty much all association with it, but I was unfortunately very wrong. When you’re trying to meet friends during the first few days…

    I remember at a very young age my cousin was turned back to my house from the airport. I did not know why, all I knew was that something happened.

    My grandmother passed away almost three years ago. There is so much about her life that I remember, even though an ocean separated us for most of our lives. Julie-san, my Japanese grandmother, returned to Japan after raising my mother in the United States in the early nineteen eighties, over a decade before I was born in the States. Her return to Japan was spurred by the death of my grandfather, who died during my mother’s first year of college, and my grandmother’s desire to live out the rest of her life on good terms with her family; who felt slighted by the way she had chosen to move to the US during the post-world war two era. Although my grandmother and I were separated physically for most of my life, the Japanese notions of shame, family…

    I’m part of one of the biggest groups that conform this country, I am an immigrant, I came to this country 4 years ago, at 2011 from Peru, but I was born in Argentina, sorry if I have a lot of misspellings.
