A place to pen down my thoughts…. that’s the reason to start this blog. I am one of the millions of immigrants here in US trying to make a better life for myself and my family. Every day to day event/activity has a very different set of consequences and the way to approach such events also differs from person to person, especially when one of them is a citizen and other an immigrant.
In past decade we saw number of events, the one that affected almost everyone is the great recession. That was a life changing event for millions of citizens and immigrants alike. Though most of the citizens are back on their feet, most immigrants will have to live with the scars forever. Some who were just starting their careers in 2008, have missed the chance of ever successfully making it in US or life. The unemployment gap on their resumes is hard to explain, and the job they took to keep afloat don’t count to overall experience on resume! So its not just loss of money but best years of a new career were lost.
I suffered through the great recession just like others, and am living with its after-effects now trying to build life back from scratch. Just that I am not the young person anymore, and got lot less time left to finish the job successfully. And yet I am trying, just like millions of others. My motivation is that if I can’t make it work here, I have nothing else to look forward to, anywhere else in the world. This is it.
Feel free to post whatever is on your mind. This is not a place to simply complain about things, but lets be honest. If complains is all you got, then that’s what you will say. Why dress it up? Feel free to share your life challenges, and events here.
