"LETTER TO MY NEW IMMIGRANTS BROTHERS AND SISTERS"

Welcome to the country of the opportunities...!!!


First at all, I would like to give you some advice and warnings, to avoid your

gettting into trouble in this country...


1.- I recommend as soon as you start looking for a job you also try to find an

English school, because without English you will have to many difficulties, because

this is the country where English is spoken.


2.- Also as soon as you have time, start study the driving liscence book. And

learn all the rules of the State do you are living at. Try to follow those rules

exactly the way did you learned, them, because tickets are very very expensive!!!.

And you might not be able to afford them. I will also recommend you to get very good

car insurance, because the more legally do you drive the more problems you will

avoid...


3.- Also at the time you are studying and working try to save some money to buy a

good car, it doesn't really matter if it is not brand new, but enough for you needs.

I also recommend you to buy a cell phone you might not need

it, but everyone has one.


4.- Try to make nice friends, and avoid the troublemakers, remember you are new in

this country and you don't know yet the consequences, when you do something wrong.


5.- I also recommend you, to help people such as new immigrants that way

you won't loose your mind and forget, that you are immigrant too.


6.- You will have struggle, to complete any goals that you promise your self, it will

be challenge to you to reach high, life is not easy... keep working on it...


7.- I know in fact, it is not easy, but whenever there are people around you, try to

keep very nice and beautiful smile!!!!... I mean all the time, even when they don't

return the favor. To any place do you go. In this country are "many many strange

people" too, but not like our home country. Also when they ask you anything in a

bad mood, don't really care about it and answer polite and nicely, they will be

grateful to hear that...

(you will probably make their day!)


8.- When you get invited to a any friend's house for party, try to speak politely,

and have a nice and an important conversation, about good things that do you have

been learning... And how happy do you feel, to have been in this country. (even

with all those difficuties) American people enjoy to talking to people, from other

countries, about good experiences; for example: culture about your country, or just

about the job do you are working at that moment. They also like to speak about

experiences in general life..., be very careful about the words you use to speak

with them.


In conclusion, I just want to say, try to take out all your good humans feelings do

you have and enjoy this beautiful country. Keep working hard with towards your

goals and I hope these tips can help you to have a succeesful life.


And again Welcom Welcome to the U. S. A.

Martha...!!!

"IN MY EXPERIENCE"

In my experience, immigrants help each other whenever we can!!!!!


I'm complete agree about this point, I am immigrant too, and I have very good

experiences more than bad ones.

I came to the U.S. 16 years ago for vacations and, to meet some of my family I didn't

see it for a long time. I was very surprise when my family came to airport to-

pick me up, my cousins, nieces some of them don't know me only by pictures.

Brought me some presents; like flowers, animal stuff and welcome cards, that made

turned on tears. So I was very happy and thinking that my stay in the U. S. will be

very good experience. (was UNFORGETTABLE day)

I have to be honest myself and said, all this time I have been living in the U. S.,

I did help immigrants and vice versa. For example: I remember the first time do I

have to aboard in the bus, but I didn't have idea how to do it and a very good

person, came to me and asked if I need any help?, and I told him yes; this is my

first time and I have no idea how? he told me don't worry I will teach you.

He explain me everything about routes I supposed to take. I couldn't forgot that

day. Been an immigrant is not barrier as long as we can help each other. We have to

help each other out, because sometimes we can't do it by our self.

I always willing to lend a helping hand to help each other succeed, I remember five

years ago I used to go to beauty school, but for some reason I never graduate.

I quit, but during those classes I met a very good girlfriend who followed her

dreams (graduate from beauty school). She is very positive person, I remember she

used to told me Martha; you have to be sure what exactly do you want for your

future don't expend your time for nothing, if you don't like this profession

look for something, that can be very interesting for your self. ( I think she was

right, because I quit) When were used to talk I told her, that she needs to learn

English too at the same time, because you will need it for your profession and,

because this is America; where English is spoken...

I want to say I am so proud about her, because after she got graduate she started

working for somebody else, but she was saving money to have her own place. Two

years later finally she opened her own business.

And now she has five different places; I still can't believed.

Now, when I talk to her, she say Martha you shouldn't quit, (I am thinking she was

right about me) that I didn't like her profession, but I'm follow her advice

too and, I'm sure I will be succeed like her, because now she is a good example for

me. We can work together to solve problems, find each other after drastic changes

in our lives, works here and the extent they're willing to whatever come.

We don't give up on each other. Making new friends, laughing, learning and creating

better forms of life.

Being human is helping other people, for our own richness; share our sadness, in

this way, we can hope to see as many people as possible together and overcome.

However, focusing on helping others feel good is actually a wonderful way!!!!

When you help other people get better, you naturally and automatically learn the way

to enrich your spiritual health, growth and development our sensibility of feelings.

"HACHIKO THE DOG HISTORY"



A college professor takes in a dog he finds abandoned, and both find their lives changed forever as they form an unbreakable loyalty to his master.


The true history of friendship between the dog Hachiko and his owner is a legend
among Japanese, a pet-loving nation that honors self-sacrificing loyalty.
Hatchiko used to wait every single day at the train station for its owner, a professor at the University of Tokyo.
Even for decade after the professor died. People were so moved they built a statue of Hachiko, at the station train.
Now a popular spot the history of Hachiko, who himself died in 1935, was made into a 1987 Japanese movie.


As soon as I started watching the movie I fell in love with Hachi.
What a faithful and loyalty dog. This miraculous history made me a big impression about, how much love you can have from dogs or any kind of animals. If you like to have a pet in your house and adopt as your family you will be blessed to enjoy a beautiful company in your heart and in your house too.
I have to be honest, I may not have the right word to describe this wonderful dog history. I can say loyalty, faithfulness and unconditional love, I have to admit that any human couldn't give that kind of unconditional love and be loyalty like Hachi. Those qualities that have earned dogs the title "MANS BEST FRIEND".

Hachi was inseparable friend right away from the start, each day; for example Hachi, used to accompanied his owner to the train station, when his owner have to left for work, was a happiness routine for Hachi who return at the same time every single day and wait for his owner patiently, with tail waging.
The routine continued until one tragic day his owner died before, he couldn't return home. At that time Hachi was less than 2 years old, but the big love between Hachi and his owner was strong. Hachi was continued waiting for his owner each single day at the train station. That is unbelievable love.


Now I have to say, after I watched the movie I became a dog lover!!!!
I promise myself I will be more friendly, compassionate and patient too, with dogs, cats and any pet in the world. The movie taught me a lesson about life: how much love you can have from dogs or any animal.
Finally Hachi died at the same spot he last saw his best friend alive.
( what a sad momentit was for Hachi)

I feel very honor about Hachi and I admire him who was a warm and wonderful canine!!!

I still crying when I remembering Hachi's experience how painful was for him, I can feel his pain...

My heart is broken in many pieces...
