Migration / Immigration Assessment

I have a brother whose name is Jimmy. Now he is in grade eleventh. He studied in American International School. Now he migrates to America to study abroad. He moves to Boston. He moves for some push factors. First, he cannot attend a Vietnamese University in Vietnam after graduating from American International School. Secondly, condition of studying in Vietnam is not as good as that in the United States. Jimmy also moves to Boston for pull factors. First, education in the United States is better than that in Vietnam. Second, English-speaking environment is more comfortable for improving English skills. Thirdly, transportation is more convenient for him to travel from school to home.

Living in the United States has some positive and negative effects. He gains many benefits from studying abroad. He can learn to live independently. Besides, he can practice English more frequently. He can earn more money in the future because he knows more about America and speaks English more fluently. He also has some difficulties when living in the United States. For example, when he lives far away from his home, he misses his family and he feels homesick. In addition, he has to face cultural differences. He is not familiar with the United State’s lifestyle. Therefore, sometimes he feels discriminated. On the first days at the United States, at times, he could not understand what Americans say. Oppositely, they do not understand what he says. Besides, he does not have enough money all the time because the school fee in the Unite States is much more expensive then in Vietnam.
