Cultural Background
From the island
of Jamaica to the U.S is where my parents migrated from in the year 1986. This
island is a well known island, especially for their beaches and tourist spot in
the parish of Kingston and Montego Bay. Born on an island with little
opportunity, my parents decided to migrate to the United States to better their
lives as well as their potential family. Along came my sister Janeen, born in
1986 and three years later my brother Al and last but not least me. My parents
had the privilege to come to this country a lot smoother than most. While they
had the option to remain in Jamaica they were offered by a great man to reside in
the U.S permanently. This decision forever changed their lives which allowed
their children's life to become a lot better off than theirs. Having parents
coming from an impoverished country allows me to be grateful and appreciate as
well as take advantage of the many opportunities this country has to offer.
