Terry
Period 1
Migration assignment
A friend of my family, Ms. Nga, migrated from Vietnam to America. Her husband lost his jobs and made no money and did not support the 2 children. Her job as a phone operator only allowed her to feed the family and send her children to the local school. She lived with her siblings and parents. One of her friend, Mr. Terry Jones, suggested that she should go to US for a better life. After half a year talking to her family about it, Ms. Nga agreed to go. She got married to Mr. Jones on paper, and it enabled her to settle in the US with the children. She believes that it will be a better chance for the family.
The night she went to the airport with her children was a dreadful night. Her family and friends cried a lot. She could not bear with the sorrow herself. However, when she immigrates to America, Mr. Terry Jones helped Ms. Nga’s family a lot. He shared his house with her and did not charge her or anything. He helped her find a job and buy a car. Finally, Ms. Nga moved out of Mr. Jones’ house since she got a $3,500 job and rented an apartment with good security for shelter. She also got an affordable car. However, her family had a minor struggle. Due to the family’s ethnic, her children found it hard to make friends with the new American. But it’s just a small problem that was overcome easily. Now her family is settled, and they have a whole new bright future ahead of them.
