They give examples such as Richard Rodriguez, whose biography, Hunger of Memory, tells of his arriving in kindergarten not speaking English. In spite of this, he went on to achieve a high level of English proficiency…

better life and opportunities emigrate to the US to advance their future. However, other people may escape for various reason such as civil war, religious freedom and employment opportunities.
