    Personal Narrative: My Father As An Immigrant

    My father is a Sicilian combat veteran from Brooklyn and my mother is an immigrant from El Salvador. The disparity of their backgrounds is immeasurable, but their lives have impacted me greatly. They divorced when I was 3, but their relationship is unbelievably strong. I lived in a diverse environment, speaking different languages and existing in polar opposite lifestyles. The dichotomy molded me and influenced my character, perspective and state of being. Under my father’s roof, I endured a military-style upbringing-but the love was apparent. I was encouraged to play sports and excel in my academics. I am competitive in nature, and exceeding was always my aspiration. However certain events have caused me to falter, but I now understand that the duty of each human is to delegate their time for the advancement of the species and if no one holds you responsible, it is imperative that you do so.…

    Facts: U.S.S.R. citizens Michael and Anna Polovchak came to the United States with their three children and settled in Chicago. The Polovchaks decided to return to the U.S.S.R. at which time their older children Nataly who was 17, and Walter who was 12, went to live at their cousin’s house not wanting to leave the Unites States with their parents. Nataly and Walters parents sought help from the Chicago police who went and removed Walter from his cousin’s house and brought him to the police station. Walter informed the police his reasons for running away were because he did not want to return with his parents to the Soviet Union.

    Personal Narrative: Moving To The US

    One of the decisions I have made, and it has changed my life enormously ever since, is when I decided to move to the U.S to complete my bachelor degree. I became a different person.

However, I will admit that when I made my decision, I thought, it would be nice and easy to study aboard.

    Immigration Court Observation

    On June 10th, I had the opportunity to go to the SF Immigration court on Montgomery Street with a few of my colleagues. I expected the court to be in a standalone building but instead it was spread over two floors in a twenty-five-floor building. The security checks for entering into the court were moderate. Everyone trying to enter the court had to go through a general security check where they walk through a metal detector machine and have their bags go through the x-ray machine. Before we went through the security check, we had to inform the officer on duty that we came to observe the court. Surprisingly I didn’t have to show a state I.D. before entering the court. After clearing the security check, the officer helped us find a courtroom to observe. I was expecting the officers to be harsh and not very helpful but I was surprised and glad to see that all of the…

    Personal Narrative: Childhood Immigrants

    I am a first-generation immigrant, who have struggled with cultural identity because I grew up with two different cultural values. My childhood consisted of seeing people who look like me and who identified with the same cultural ideas; however, after moving to southern California, I witnessed a diverse population with different cultures. My cultural influences come from my parents and peers and the media, so I feel conflicted between the traditional and conservative culture of my parents and the liberal and open-minded values of my peers.…

    Memoir Essay edited

    I have experienced many memorable events in my life, but perhaps the most wonderful moment that I have experienced so far is when I received the news that my student visa to the United States had been approved by the US Embassy Officer. At that moment, I knew that my life would change forever, and I would be embarking on a new exciting journey. .Applying for an F1 Visa is not an easy process for Vietnamese students, especially for students who have failed the interview process multiple times like I did. Finally after failing the previous five interviews I finally succeeded on my sixth try. I was so ecstatic when I heard the news that I was given the opportunity to study aboard in the USA; it was evident that all my hard work had finally paid off! The day before I left Vietnam, my emotions were filled with both nervousness and excitement because I knew endless possibilities that were awaiting me. Unfortunately, not everything was as easy as I thought it was going to be.…
