Migration Stories

This immigration story is about my brother. His name is Tim, and he lived in the outskirt of Binh Duong province. He moved from Binh Duong to Houston, Texas, USA. His migration is a pull factor, he moved there to have better education. His immigration was external, because he moved from Binh Duong to the USA. He migrated there for two years already, next year I will be like him, I will move there to study. In four years later he will come back to his homeland.

His moving is good because he can study in a new school that has a good education. Living in the USA is good for his future; he can find a good job there. But it’s hard for him when he moves to another country because he needs to learn their culture and their language. The American people talk very fast, so he needs to practice his English to talk with them more easily. I also need to improve my English techniques because I will go to Houston next year. He needs to make new friends; he told me that in Houston, there are a lot of Vietnamese and Chinese people. He can easily make friends with them because they are from in the same continent.
