Growing up in two such diverse places made me who I am today and I wouldn’t want to change that for the world. Moving at such a young age just showed how much of the world I had yet to see. Much has changed since then and I have become an international traveler. Seeing all different parts of the US and parts of Europe and South America. The world is a big place that was meant to be…
Those experiences in other countries show me how the melting pot of the US works today. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I also appreciate the richness of culture coming together in America. We have found a way to come together to form the American spirit that you don’t find in any other part of the world. In Shakopee, Minnesota, I went to middle school with kids who moved here from Russia, Mexico, Kenya, Cambodia and numerous other countries from all over the globe.…
I am interested in the NSLI-Y program because It would be amazing opportunity to learn a new language and culture, and help with a career later in life. I am open to trying and learning new things as well as meeting new people if I am selected. I would also be able to share my experience with others after I return home. Living outside the United States is good because it helps people understand other cultures. We learned about ethnocentrism in social studies and I think things would change for the better if people were exposed to different places and ideas.…

Moving to the United States has enriched my life in many different ways, including switching my major of study, changing my life style, and becoming more independent.…

Ever since the creation of the United States, it has seen immigrants and other ethnic groups as intruders and parasites. This begs the question: should the United States be allowed to repatriate all aliens back to their native soil? While illegal immigration and deportation has been a popular subject in recent politics, the next few reasons that will be presented will hopefully change or strengthen one 's view to allow immigrants who have resided in the United States for a minimum of five years or if they meet certain requirements to be allowed citizenship. By recognizing the importance of immigrants that have resided productively in the United States, by refuting counter arguments to those who wish to extrude long lasting immigrants from the…
I have been able to experience the culture of the countries I was visiting and able to observe the differences between theirs and mine. One thing caught my attention very quickly when I was visiting Ireland this past summer, and it was something I noticed in Italy too. That is that all of the people typically live the same. There was hardly any division of social class, something quite different from what goes on back in America. I live in the small and widely considered wealthy town of Haddonfield.…
My life would be nothing like it is today if my parents did not come to America in order for me to have a better life and to actually allow me to become as successful as I want to be. The most valuable lesson my parents have taught me is to always be thankful and to never take anything for granted. My parents struggled throughout their life and have and continue to work extremely hard to help me in any way that they can. They want me to have a better life then what they went through. They provide me with whatever I need to become successful.…

“I don’t know” I can still distinctly recall my eleven-year-old self repeatedly saying to anyone who tried to talk to me. It was my first day of school in America and that was the only sentence I could put together in English. I was born in China and lived there my whole life until my mother decided to move to New York. I thought I was just visiting her for winter break, but she dropped me off at school just a week after my arrival. As my new classmates tried to talk to me, I can see their mouth moving but they might as well be speaking gibberish.…
We are forced to change our strategy, my husband had been stuck in the office because he kind have to do the most important process of our company which is to receive orders and process them, this is because of the language, “Brazilian market” just now we have someone that fits the position. Thus, my husband can have time to look for more opportunities. I have been so busy that even to stop and put all my expenses on a list is hard.

I decided to do my Master MIBA that is no longer offered by Nova, thus it is just MBA now, because I didn’t want to through away everything I studied for in Brazil which cost me a lot, especially precious time with my family,…
Living in the United States known as the melting pot and the country of immigrants, many today do not feel the need to relate to them and instead look down upon the recent immigrants who happen to be minorities in this country even if they have families living or who have lived her for centuries. Coming to the United states as immigrants and trying to live the american dream that is known to be the goal of this country does not come easy. Various historical events and law cases have helped us but the majority of these events have done the opposite. Classes which talk about topics such as oral history and immigration, many minorities and students who fall and relate to those categories are able to learn and teach others about the information they know and the stories that many tend to be seen as negative.…
Being knowledgeable and having awareness of the rights and responsibilities you and others possessed as an American is a requirement to prevent government abusing its power. Being an American citizen offers many advantages that benefit your daily life. It is vital for the majority of American citizens to comprehend that when it comes to rights and responsibilities they are obligated to conduct their civic duties, know their rights, and know how the government operates to keep the country safe. Let's start off with the fact that each individual is responsible for following the laws in the U.S such as paying taxes, serving on a jury when called upon, and voting. To go more in depth each task mentioned helps the country stay stable.…
Most people live in one country when they were growing up, But I didn’t put myself on those people because my whole life was a ball and chain. I lived my childhood in Pakistan in which I saw many up and down, then to control and overcome from the situation in 2008, we move to Dubai, but somehow it didn’t work out. So before coming to the United States in 2012, my mind was ready for no more blunder. The thought that brings me to the United States is to get better education, diversity of job opportunities, freedom of my life, extremely multicultural, and devoid of beauty. However, that experience turned out to be a piece of cake compared to adjustment that I would encounter.…
