It had been more than three
years since I immigrated to settle in the United States when I was 18 years
old, as an immigrant from the other continent far away, I had to try my best to
accommodate this brand new fast-speeded society as soon as possible. At that
time I had only two choices I could pick up, one was that I could go to work to
support myself for the rest of life until death, the other one was that I could
have a valve chance to continue my education, in someone’s eyes, I should have
gone to work at the age of 18 as well as it might be too late to learn new
language and mastered it, but my parents’ suggestion was that I should go to
school to study English for preparation of the future because the language is
the bridge to communicate with people, I thought their suggestion sounded
reasonable to me and I considered everyone had his own roads to success, I am
different one, so finally I restarted to pick up my schoolbag. However the
movement of immigration changed my personality and lifestyle, being responsible
for my parents, being independent for myself anytime.
Be responsible for parents
is an essential duty of being an adult from a teenager. My parents’ personal
education was cut off when they were in the first year of middle school, and
even they never got in touch with English, thus sometimes i would help them
explain the letter written in English what it talked about, sometimes I would
accompany with them going to the hospital where people all speak English. Once
my father asked me to go with him to the immigration office for the
naturalization test for he worried about he might not completely understand
what people say to him, yet he inconceivably passed the test in the second time
he went which totally surprised me. The other example of the responsibility for
my parents is that I will try best to do the all the housework which I did not
usually do or not self-conscious until my parents asked me to do so. I cook the
breakfast, lunch and supper, washing the dished after that, cleaning the
bedroom, kitchen, sitting room, and bathroom as well as cleaning the floor and
mopping the floor,, sometimes go down to street to buy the food needed for
every meal, and pay the monthly fee of gas, electricity, network and cellphone.
Because I have always considered that it not pretty easy for parents to bring
up their children form little babies, therefore in my opinions, whatever I do
must not make my parents feel suffering, but make them proud of me.
Be independent for myself
anytime. Everyone has his own unique processing to be independent, for me is
when I came to the United States. We all know that American life is filled with
busyness, you should be capable of bravely facing any challenges come any time,
dealing with difficulty, keeping unmovable during the hard times since everyone
has his own business, I have full-time job in the summer holidays, part-time
job while I attend to school. Which I can learn “the reality” from my work,
which is that the reality is different from the dream, the reality is the front
of the dream, people usually obtain the dream after they experience the poignant
reality.
