Moving from one country to another country is very hard; Leaving your family and friends behind and starting a new life in another country. At the age of 12, my family and I moved to America for better education. I learned if you want to be successful, you have to work hard to achieve your goal. I learned that my parents gave up their business and their houses to come to America and give my sister and me one of the best educations possible. There are lots of differences when compared America to India such as language, people, law, school, etc. When I moved here I changed for a better person because I want to achieve something in life. There are many things that helped me mature as a better person such as my family, friends, high school life, and teachers. My dad always told me “if you don’t have education in life you won’t be very successful”. It’s a true point he made when he told me that. My family helped me mature as a person as I kept getting older by learning things about life and what to avoid in life. My family has always been there for me when I need them for example: I r...
The major effect of moving to a different country, especially moving during my third year of high school, and the most familiar one was missing everything such as family, friends, food, and scenery. Missing my family and friends made it so hard for me that a few days after arriving here; I was already talking to my adopted parents about saving some money for tickets to go back home and stay there until I finished my school. Internet and cellphones weren’t popular then, so my friends and I used to write letters because long distance calls were expensive. Now, we have APPS on our cellp...
Coming to a foreign country is a daunting experience. When I first moved to America, I had to leave everything behind such as, - my family,friends, and life back home. Although I welcomed the change, I was also afraid. This fear hovered over me for a long time before I had the courage to let it go. My experiences, both good and bad, allowed me to break out of my shell, become a leader for my family, and strive against all the odds to achieve my goals.
I was raised in an encouraging household where both of my parents greatly valued education. Although they were high school graduates, neither could afford to attend college; a combination of family and financial woes ultimately halted their path. As a result, my parents frequently reminded me that getting a good education meant better opportunities for my future. To my parents, that seemed to be the overarching goal: a better life for me than the one they had. My parents wanted me to excel and supported me financially and emotionally of which the former was something their parents were not able to provide. Their desire to facilitate a change in my destiny is one of many essential events that contributed to my world view.
...d to United States, I was grateful that I made the decision to move. When my family visited, I was able to cherish every moment with them because I knew how difficult life without them. I was grateful to have my family. Their endless support and advice, helped me to improved myself. Lived independently in United states, I grew as a better person, I learned how to planned a better time management and to be responsible on my priority.
When I first moved to America I had many difficult, but positive life changing experiences. My parents, five sisters, four brothers, and I were all very nervous and excited to start a new life. I had many life changing experiences when it was my first time in an airport, starting school to learn a new language, and moving to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Life sets out many pathways to decide your future. It can give you experiences and certain experiences in your life can impact you a lot. Today I’m going to talk about how moving to America has impacted me is that the fact that the American culture has changed me completely. One obvious reason American culture has changed me is the fact that I am speaking English right now. Learning English took me awhile even tho I’m still not fluent in it.
Throughout my life I have been motivated by my family to do well in my schooling. When I was youhnger i watched as my brother took his hard work from our small town and took that same drive with him as he went on to further his ediucation at college. That really motivated me to work harder in school so that when it came to be my time to go to college I will be able to do the same as he did.
family had a great influence in my life. They always helped me to make good choices, or made me laugh
In the lives of many, our familes are our first friends, and usually the initial place we learn to develop everlasting bonds. My family has influenced my behavioral characteristics, habits, and contribute to where I am today. Family is important to me because of the countless demonstrations of unwaivering support they offer me whether it’s during happy, sad, or challenging times. Typically, my family is the first to understand my feelings and serve as my greatest support system. My children mean the world to me and any choice I make in life is normally surrounded by them. I have learned the importance of considering how choices in life directly affect those that are closes to you through the relationships I have with my family. My family has taught me the importance of others.
Both my parents have a college degree, so they always stress the importance of a good education. They provide me and my sister with everything we need to have a good learning environment.
One positive formative message I always got from my family is, “You’re the smart one out of the family.” When I was young, I always used to get good grades and receive academic awards. Whenever I would receive an award, my mom would always say, “Good job, I know, one day you’ll be someone great.” My dad also used to say, “One day you’ll become a nurse, doctor, or lawyer.” My siblings joined once in a while to by saying, “Here comes the smarty pants, or here comes Miss. Know
Many years ago I remember my parents telling me that in order for me to become successful a college education was a must. They always told me that if I wasn’t in school I could no longer live at home. Both of my parents attended college but neither of them finished. They did not want me to go down that same road because they really regret not getting their degrees.
Like everyone else, family and friends have played a vital part in my life and have affected my outlook on money and career. I grew up in a family of six, with my father, who is an IT engineer, as the head and sole breadwinner of the family because in my country -Saudi Arabia- there aren’t many opportunities for women to advance. Although he made sure that we lived a pretty comfortable life, I would often see him foregoing his needs and wants to fulfil those of his family. So, I wondered about how different our lives could have been if my mom (or me as the oldest child) were working along with him. I believe that a person
It is a source of comfort, support, security, and protection. Family helps make sense of the world by allowing one to feel unique and special and be encouraged to follow their dreams and to succeed at life. Families will experience life differently but it should be a safe place that opinions can be expressed openly and each member be made to feel important. While college will provide academic lessons in life, the lessons learned from family will directly affect one's personal values and behaviors. Every stage of life presents joys and challenges. Relationships teach how to cope with those joys and challenges and boost the ability to reach life
Education becomes more important as new generations come. In order to earn success and be financially stable; the modern generation needs to have a college degree. For example, my parents grew up in a wealthy family in Nepal in the 1970s. Nepal is a third world country, and there are large gaps between the rich and the poor. During that time in Nepal, being born in a wealthy family was a blessing because money in the family was never a problem. However the country lacked many opportunities that the U.S. has and due to the lack of resources, education did not have much importance in the society. For instance, marriage was given more priority than an education. When my parents were teenagers in Nepal, their parents were not strict in studies. My parents were emotionally and mentally prepared for marriage at a young age. They did not dream to become a doctor or an engineer like myself, rather they dreamt of getting married and having kids. Therefore, my parents do not think that education is the most important thing in life. Their mindset creates problems between us because I want them to be involved in my educational life. I want them to understand that getting a college degree is my main priority. I want them to remind me that I should study hard and stay focused to meet the deadlines of assignments. I want them to go on college visits and support my decision of furthering my
