Immigration

From the years that I have lived in the U.S. and growing up with the struggles to be an immigrant is tough because not many people who live in the U.S. would understand our obstacles that we have to go through every day. Being known as a person of color, limited many of our privileges to living here. For example, the language and written barrier created a gap between my ethnicity to communicating with others and to not be able to speak or read in English would decrease our chances in living a normal life. I would define normal as not having to worry about how to buy food because of food labels that is not written in our own language or even the thought of not understanding someone when they speak to you who is different from your ethnicity when you need help with resources in the U.S. I believe this plays a major role in my society because many older folks would have a hard life trying to adjust to an environment and feel worthless. Feeling worthless can greatly and easily impact someone's life by making them feel discouraged to find food/shelter for themselves and/or families.
In addition, being viewed as an immigrant from others can be objectified at times if they label you as dirty or a person who they believe will pass a nasty disease to them. However, like many of my friends and family has discussed about, being an immigrant also has many advantages such as resources of medicine by using plants. Not only that but also the knowledge an individual can pass on to others that are different from them. Moreover, genetic variation from different ethnicity's can create beautiful and /or healthy babies.
