    About this ebook

    Sharing ones true-to-life experiences as an immigrant in a foreign country requires reminiscing happy and sad memories. These events teach a person lessons of survival and adjustment to new culture and environment. As a foreigner, when faced with difficult and challenging situations, changes occur in ones self. Interaction with other countries and nationalities turns an immigrant into a multicultural individual. As a result, immersion with other cultures makes an immigrant adapt to the changes in society in order to survive.
    Surviving the Life of an Immigrant in New York City is a true-to-life experience of an immigrant. This book serves as an eye-opener to newcomers in a foreign land on how to survive lifes challenges in a new environment. Each part will make readers discover the problems and solutions of an immigrants trials with living in a big city. Specifically, readers will accept that success and failures of an immigrant are steps in learning and achieving ones dream. Finally, the immigrants rewards of achievements validate the worlds important contribution to humanity.
    It is about taking risks and also embracing challenges when they test ones life and career. Also, it is being unique with a persons own culture and values compared to the worlds multiethnic background. It is with regard to being courageous as one discovers the unknown facts of life. It is the experience of getting lost and, later, realizing where the right path leads. Significantly, the wholeness of life as an immigrant is interesting, because what one does not know is now opening brightly in the future.
    Lastly, browse through the pages of this book and imagine the smiles and tears about what an immigrant had undergone in the past and in the present.
