"The Land of Gold"-- Takaki reading reflection

Ever since I came to school in the States, many people have asked me if I am going to stay in the US or if I am going back to China after I’m don't with school. I came to Montana for high school when I was 15 and finished high school there. And now I’m at Whitworth studying engineering (like a typical Asian haha). But honestly I don't know the answer to this question. To help you understand my situation, I can relate myself to one of the reading in Takaki.

In the last couple weeks of this class I learned a lot of Asian American history. On page 56 of Takaki, it describes the image of America in Asian people’s eyes: they think America is “a ‘paradise’ where ‘clothing grew on trees, free to be picked,” and where ‘gold dollars were blossoming on every bush. They were given descriptions of America as a ‘land of gold’ and a ‘lan of dreams.’” It is still truth that most Asians think America as a place to fulfill dreams and to peruse success.  My parents sent me to go to school in America rather than moving here as a family not only because it is not as easy to immigrate as it was before, but also because the language barrier. Neither of them speaks English, as a result they felt even harder to be accepted in a strange country. Therefore, they packed their hopes on me and sent me here. Back to the question, I honestly don't know if I will stay. I know many of the foreigners once they came they don't want to leave again. I think for me, the reason why I want to go back home is because my whole family is still there. However, I think it all depends on where I get a job and my future significant other. I guess we will see what's gonna happen.
