My American Adventure
A taste of discrimination and prejudice through the eyes of an immigrant
This book is one of its kind, written by an immigrant who experienced firsthand the real life of an immigrant in America. It exposes the real struggles some immigrants endure when they initially set foot on American soil. The reader will be intimated on how difficult things could be for some immigrants, especially those who go to America with the preconceived idea that America is a land free of struggles. Those who plan to go to America thinking that money is easy to come by may be royally disappointed after spending a short time in America. The author writes from personal experience of her difficulties, some of which could have derailed her goals and aspirations. Despite all odds, her courage, perseverance, and tenacity helped her overcome and become successful in achieving the American dream. In the pages of this book, the author passionately describes examples of various adversities she endured, including racism and discrimination. Racism and discrimination were and still are endemic in American society. The author emphasizes the importance of hard work, believing in oneself, having faith in God, and persistence, which helped her navigate her challenges successfully.
