I think my history of immigration to the United States was more positive and carefree. It was devoid of any religious prosecution or political reasons. Originally i am from Belarus. It is as small country near Ukraine, Poland and Russia. There is nothing notable there, except that people work there very hard, get little money for that, they suffered a lot during World War 2, live under pressure of dictator (whose almost no one country could recognize and accept as a president) and it is very kind nation.When i was really young child, about 12 years old, i dreamed to live 
in America and to get better life. As Binder says: “the new immigrants are seeking economic opportunity and political freedom” ( everything that my nation doesn’t have) .On the second year at the University i decided to travel in the US by program for students – Work and Travel. But i was declined in visa. In that day i was very upset and almost lost faith to come in the most powerful country. Half a year later my friend gave me a link to apply for green card – www.dvlottery.state.gov . I applied and forgot about it until the day when my father coming back from the job brought a huge envelope from Kentucky. In that moment i even couldn’t t understand what was happened. I just jumped up to the ceiling. I was so happy! so happy! Everybody said after that to me that “dream comes true.” Now i am only just “freshly baked” immigrant, live in NY in Bensonhurst-an Italian neighborhood, i visit my family and friends at least one time a year, i work and study, and i am happy that i am here and i believe that everything is ahead of me!
