Why I Came to the United States
I came to the United States because I have a son. As all loving mothers want the best for their children, I want the best for mine. I thought that living in the United States would give my son great opportunities in his life. He will have opportunities such as a good education and a good job. The best of all is that he will have the chance to live under the United States law.
Education is a treasure that nobody can steal. Being educated in the United States is the best that can happen to anybody. In my thoughts I am giving my son the best I can by having him study here, and at the same time I am learning a lot of new things. For example, I am learning English and soon I will achieve one of my dreams which is having my GED diploma.
Now about the work, he will for sure have more opportunities to find better jobs in the United States than if we were in my home country. Yes, I believe so, because the United States offers many job opportunities and the right tools for you to succeed.
I love living in the United States because of its laws. They are wonderful. To me, this country is perfectly managed and that gives me peace of mind because I know my son is protected.

As I have shown, I came to the United States because I value this country very much and I want my son to grow up in this marvelous

    The Irish, Germans and Scandinavians came to the United States for many reasons, freedom, comfort, independence and a chance of a better life.

    Gazing out of the airplane window, I saw the words Mei Guo— “beautiful country” in Chinese—painted on the airport terminal. My mother and I immigrated to America when I was a small child from Taishan, China. She aimed to remove me from a life where society would limit my options and ostracize me due to my father’s blindness from Retinitis Pigmentosa and the family’s lack of proper education. My father was willing to let go of his only child because he, too, knew it would open infinite opportunities for me to succeed. Though my new life in America seemed prosperous at first, I soon realized I needed to create opportunities for myself despite our lack of resources.…

    I came to America about 13 years ago from Sri Lanka and I’ve had experiences in this country that I think are very unique. Both of my parents worked so hard to bring my brother and I to America, because they knew that if we wanted the best future we’d have to be here. I never truly realized the impact America has had on me and my family. I come from an Indian/Sri Lankan background and being able to see so much acceptance of our culture here is truly amazing. Although I have had experiences with racism here, I think these last 2 years have made a huge impact on diversity and truly accepting that everyone is equal.…

    America, land of the free and home of the brave, a country strengthened with rights, equality, and justice. For Americans it’s just a regular country, with regular rules and laws, nothing special about it. Although, to immigrants it’s a country to reinterpret their lives, a better life, a life where they’re free to pursue their happiness and follow their dreams. Even though America is a great country, adjusting to a new culture isn’t easy. It took patience, support, understanding, and passion in order for me to balance two different cultures.…

    Before my arrival to the United States of America, I viewed this country’s values as a land of opportunity and the promotion of freedom. Upon my arrival to the US, my perspective has shifted and the reality became more obvious. Knowing the country's values and ideals increases your sense of knowledge. Americans endorse unity, praise the idea of family, and acknowledge the innovations created by these individuals.

    There has been a lot said about the reasons why people immigrate to America, individuals come here in hopes to make a better life for themselves and their existing or future family. They fall in love with the unwavering freedom that they have to choose. The word choice is a word often at a premium for citizens of some of the world’s countries. Everything from being told what to watch to being told who to marry. In America choices are freely made without the worry of consequences. People say, “So what, I made the decision I made. It does not affect anyone but me, so what’s the problem?” Well in one major way, there are choices that people make that truly affect others.

    People often say things about how the United States, with its revolutionary political and economic system, must have been around for a long time in order to achieve the world standing it holds today. This isn’t the case though. In fact, when compared to great civilizations like the Roman Empire which lasted almost 12 centuries, many would say that the United States is still in its infancy. Much in the same way, the political and economic systems the U.S. is famous for are seen to be derived from past civilizations as well. But this of course leads us to asking the inevitable questions of where did it all begin, and what caused people to settle here in America of all places. In order to answer this however, we have to look back past explorers and crusades. Past the kings, uprisings, revolts, and trade routes. We must go back in time to the Roman Empire itself, specifically in the year 476 BCE; the time when everything was falling apart in Rome.…
