An important Key
Columbus discovered the American continent over five hundred years ago, and people from all
over the world began to immigrate. It still continues today. More and more people
have decided to leave their country and come to the American continent. Leaving their homeland and
crossing the world has changed their lives. My uncle decided to immigrate to the new world twenty
years ago and his decision has influenced my family. Spurred on by the fashion that causes many
people to immigrate, my uncle’s choice to do the same brought our family to U.S. where we have an
improved our lives but created an emotional and physical distance in my family.
In the beginning, the success of his immigrant life provided a good example among
my family members. My family was proud of his success. When they talked about
him, their faces were full of admiration. Sometimes, they used his success to teach his
children as a good example and encouraged them. Also, it was a good way to offer a
new way to live. When we considered our futures, it gave us one more choice. Eventually, my uncle’s
immigration raised the immigration boom of my family, and my family members began to think of the
possibility. Now, half of my family members have followed his steps, and I think the number may be
increase in the future.
Even though the immigration has brought wealth to our family, his departure created an emotional loss
or family. For instance, my grandparents have not seen him for many years and missed him very much.
Parents always care about their children, especially when they leave and are far away from home. This is
the natural instinct for the parents. When I was young, I went to visit my grandparents and I heard my
grandma mention him. On the other hand, my uncle’s child was confused about him and did not know
him very well. The reason was that he sent his child back to China because his business was busy and he
wanted his child to grow up in his hometown where he was born. Therefore, my cousin grew up in China
and had not seen his father for many years. When he grew up and referred to his father, he always
looked at his father’s photos and felt strange. In fact, he does not have too much feeling with his parents.
Furthermore, his immigration also developed our quality of life. Our family became rich after the
immigration. There is a common belief that if a person gets to the top, he will lead the surrounding people
to the high position. In our case, my family’s wealth level began to be enhanced and it developed our
material quality of live. With the development of our material quality, people start to pursue the quality
of spirit aspect. They began to send their next generations to elite schools to study. They wished their
children could acquire more knowledge and have high degrees, and it is a kind of way to improve the
spirit aspect.
In conclusion, the emerging of immigrant boom resulted in my uncle’s departure and affected my family
with making a good example, having an emotional effect and developed our quality of life. Immigration
became the corner of my family’s life. It is an important key to open the door of new life. Make good use
of the key and it will lead to a new life and a new world.
because the people who live in the U.S. go back China, and spent a lot of money to have fun in China. they also tell others who live in China that the U.S. is super awesome...that is why the immigrant boom is so popular, but they just do not know how hard the immigrant work.
