Hi my name is Eddy and I move from Vietnam to United States in 2008, it was an external migration. The trip was very exciting to travel on a first class airplane in a 12 hours or more trip. It all began when I finished 5^th grade, I got home like usual except for my parents, they were all pack up like they were about to go somewhere and they said to me “son, we are relocated to the United States, you’re mom and I had decided that we will be moving to U.S for a better life, we can’t made a lot of money here so go get your brother, we will be leaving in 2 more hours” I was like very exciting because the school that I’m study now until I graduated was terrible. We called a taxi, arrived in the airport and the off we go for a better life.

    When we arrived in Los Angeles (United States city), we couldn’t say anything except for “wow”. It was way different compare to what we lived back in our homeland like the atmosphere was great or the how beautiful the building is. My families settled down in an apartment, 4^th floor and room 402; our room had a beautiful view of the city. The most parts that I liked about L.A (Los Angeles) is the city at night, it was beautiful liked a fireworks show and Hollywood, the city of cinema. In L.A, we can had a new job or a good business, for me and my brother were to had a new school and new experience of life in another country also the city people were friendly and nice, it was way better than Vietnam but I hoped my parents didn’t had a hard time to find a job or else they had to spend all of their money on their own business, if it didn’t worked out because of that they might not had enough money to affordable for me and my brothers to a new school. I’ sure that my parents had plan it all before they lived; I mean if they didn’t find a job, we might had to moved back to Vietnam. Although I missed my old country but I do liked it here, I could learn or experience new things for example they had robot that could help us with our lives. Can you imagine that? Robot is helping us with its own specific function. While I do missed my country but the positive things of immigrant to another country is you could find a new job or a new life to live but it’s also had a negative side like don’t bring enough money. This is our family opportunity to have a new life, a better life and had a new chance for a better future.
