My immigration experience

My immigration experience started last year when I entered American borders for the first time in my life. It is really useful experience in my life, because by immigrating you increase your chances of getting better life. Being in foreign country, such as America made me in contact with people from all over the world, holding with them different languages and different cultures. In deed, when I just arrived to America I have faced whit some difficulties that shaped a part of my immigration experience, such as language problem, the need of job and some one to guide me.                              

Most immigrant face such these difficulties, when they just arrive to USA. Despite, I  took some English classes in my country, I found my self faced with communication problem with American people. The pronunciation is different from that I took in Moroccan schools,because we are adopting British English in our schools. But language problem didn't discourage me.In contrast, taking English classes was among my first priorities after finding job. I believe that English language is the key of success in America.

Secondly, the major problem that many new immigrant face is job finding. Her in America you have to work if you did not nobody will help you except the government. In my case I was lucky to find a job two months after I arrived her. Working in Arabian restaurant was my first choice because of my lack of adequate English. In fact, working with people speak the same language as mine, and proximately the same culture, made away to be in contact with American people and ultimately delayed my English improvement. But at least that job enabled me to rely on my self.                                                                                       

Another important thing that made me change my view of life, and shaped part of my immigration experience is the types of jobs that we are exposed to do in America. American people are modest because they don't worry about the kind of job they do. For example, you can find very beautiful women working in restaurant, doing the cleaning, or you can also ride a taxi driven by an engineer, in slow economy. In contrast, in my country working in restaurant and doing cleaning is kind of dirty jobs and few people accept doing it. Similarly, people with high level of education don't like to work any other jobs rather than that conform their major. My experience in America learnt me that, being modest is another key of success. 

My experience in America also learnt me to respect others cultures, religions and trends. America is a country of freedom, so everyone has the right to practice his religion and customs, and of course with out hurting others, in other words these right are guaranteed by the government.

Finally, my immigration experience didn't finish yet, or just started because I still consider my self a new immigrant. But I hope to do well in my studies, and achieve my dream to be Technician on Electricity, and give a good image about my country.
