What Are You?
A Question To Immigrants In America.
- What Are You?
Did you come to America to be in America, or did you come to America to be an American? Think on it for a bit, and decide. There is no wrong decision. But there is also no middle ground. You are either an American, or NOT.
Thank you for your time.
Hi there, we are new on steemit and you are the first article that I am responding to! I came to the states when I was 12, I came from a very poor island, Haiti. My parents brought us here for a better life and I am forever grateful. After many years living in America, it became home to me. While I try to hold on to my Haitian culture, it is a lot more challenging to do so while living in America. Almost a year ago, I became an American. So, to answer your question, I was brought to America for a better life in America and then, I became an American, because this country is home for me!
Congrats on gaining citizenship. Your story is like so many I have heard before. Just remember, You are now an American, BUT that does not mean you must abandon your culture nor your heritage.
Agreed, friend! I am doing the best that I can keep it and share it with our children :)
