Summary: Migration To The US

Improved Essays
In this scenario, we know that Alberto has recently immigrated to the United States, and there are many factors in place that could be interfering with his academic performance. The important thing is that his teachers and counselors have implemented a team that can guide them into the cause of Alberto’s academic performance issues and will help him succeed through his school years. Selecting the proper assessment test based on the child’s age and language skill is crucial to ensure accurate information will be obtained. The two tests I would recommend are the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-V and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test.

    KBIT 2 Summary

    As a measure of current general intellectual functioning, the KBIT-2 was administered and yielded a Verbal Score = 86±5; a Nonverbal Score = 55±5; and an IQ Composite Score = 66±4. The composite score falls within the very low or borderline educational classification at the 01st percentile rank per national age based norms and needs to be viewed with caution. Due to Hunter’s struggles with focus and difficulty attending to auditory instruction, his nonverbal score is felt to be an under representation of his actual performance. Repeated testing within the near future with this or a similarly constructed psychometric instrument would probably find Hunter scoring higher than an IQ band of 60 - 74. Analysis of KBIT-2 scores found Hunter demonstrating an unbalanced skill set between his verbal skills and his spatial, visually based skills.…

    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.…

Although moving to America brought hope for a new life and a brighter future, many struggle to adjust and adapt to the ways of an American lifestyle. Immigrating does not have to be the prime reason people have trouble identifying themselves with a certain group. Many people can feel just as isolated, or even more so, in their own homeland. Finding a place you can call your own, feeling like you belong to something, that’s what everyone wants, right?…

    People migrate to other countries when the chances of success are higher than the ones an individual face in his or her country. Statistics show that between 1995 and 2014, Mexicans made up about half of all unauthorized immigrants, though their numbers have been declining in the recent years. The 2016 election has been extremely controversial with candidates Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton running the presidency. Donald Trump is ahead of the game, leaving Hillary behind, though he plans to make “America Great Again” are absurd to the point that he wants to make a wall in order to stop “criminals and rapists” from entering the country and to have mass deportations. Illegal immigrants migrate to America due to the simple fact…

    Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States of America, proclaims that any “immigrant who… assimilates…shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else… [but] this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American” (Roosevelt). The idea of Americanism is lost as the numbers of illegal and legal immigrants in the United States are at an all-time high, as are the number of migrants in the world. Still, millions of migrants want to enter the United States, however, many are uneducated and hail from Mexico or unstable Middle Eastern countries. The politicians and native population of the United States are divided on the problems and solutions regarding this mass migration problem.…

    Just a moment before I stepped onto the humongous metal machinery that would soar through the sky, I had doubted myself. “Am I qualified to take this privilege to go to Canada? Or would this be a foolish choice that would impact my life in a bad way?” Now, when I think back, I was quite surprised about how I wasn’t excited about the airplane ride. I guess I was just more “mature” than the other 7 years-olds.…

    A number of factors make it difficult to assess the overall effect of adult migration on the health of family members in their households. The effects of migration can vary with time. In a study on Mexico, Cortes (2007) shows that the general health of children declines during the first years of their parents’ migration, but improves over time as remittances contribute to improved access to healthcare. Kanaiaupuni and Donato (1999) found that migration from a community raises infant mortality in the short term and lowers infant mortality in the long term, due to both household and community effects.…

    It is famous for Asian family to encourage their children to go to the United Stated to study English from early ages of their children; English ability is the necessity to survive in the competitive world. I was not involved in that fashionable wave, but the center of the reasons that I moved to the United States was also for my child, who has dual citizenship Japan and the United States, to establish his identity as a Japanese American. Of course, I couldn’t miss an opportunity to learn English in the United States, so I planned to go to school as my second purpose. Although I came to the United States as a chaperon for my child, the result that I came across a good college and considerate people in Portland stimulates my curiosity about education, I take delight in studying education at Portland community College (PCC).…
