Synopsis
Individuals who immigrate to the United States have rich experiences, stories, and a history that they carry with them upon starting a life in a new country. Along the path, many obstacles present themselves that may impact or differ from each person's vision for their transition into a new life. Some obstacles that might be faced are encountering cultural differences, distanced familial relations, and language barriers. There may also be uncertainty around navigating the unfamiliar environment. Finding the motivation and courage to accomplish short and long-term goals while in the United States is a challenge that will come. Having questions, fears, and disappointment is a normal part of the process; however, the experience does not have to be defined in these terms. Alternatively, this journey can be defined by self-growth, hope, and inspiration for yourself and for others. Everyone has the ability to achieve success with access to the appropriate support, resources, and guidance. This book is designed to be a resource that any immigrant, or anyone for that matter, can turn to when times get rough or when you feel that you are simply at a dead end. Do not stop at that feeling. Press forward. May this book provide with guidance and support on your journey.
