We had faced plenty of challenge during this 4 years. We use our hands to get our life, we use our ability to collect the respect. That is not my personal experience, but I am really playing an important role for the whole story. That is a story concerned with my mother -- a middle age woman, a common Chinese housewife, a role model in my life. My mother has never said too much to tell me how to do or how to deal with the challenge. She is always using her own action to show me what I should do. In my memory, my mother is a tranquil woman. She always tries to solve the problem with her hands first. I am influenced by this feature deeply. This is not a story with tension. This is only a story about a woman how to set up a new home with her family in a new country.

I think the hard times for my family were went away. I would talk with my mother about the past hard time recently, I asked her why she never said gave up or complained with her children. My mother said if you trust yourself that you can went through all of the obstacles then you can receive success, but if you don’t trust yourself, you only received nothing. I think that is the resilience in my life: never say give up, and Gods helps those that help themselves.

Resiliency is one concept that has never been the human races forte. Many things that happen in our current day and age require a great deal of perseverance and resiliency. People often will give in to the problems in their lives and learn to accept them, instead of persevering through them and working out the issues. The fact of the matter is, if you learn to persevere through problems, your life will be a lot more happy and pleasant to live. In Tennessee Williams’ play, “ A Streetcar Named Desire” suggests that you cannot give up on issues; you must be resilient to those issues and persevere to be happy.
The lack of work, food and resources to survive combined with the government outsourcing farmers left no alternative to migration.

Around the world, many people are faced with adversities and constant obstacles in their life that they will have to overcome. People often have to face adversities such as death, poverty, illness, disabilities, and environmental issues on a daily.

In life, we face negative experiences that can either make or break us. In the film “Rudy” we see that Rudy did not let the negative times in his left break him, he kept trying and was resilient. He established a goal of going to Notre Dame and did not let the obstacles get in the way. Even though he failed into getting into Notre Dame, he kept trying until he finally got in. In life one negative experience I had was when my brother told us he was moving to Ohio to be with his girlfriend. I had to find resilience through embracing change, creating a strong social network and being optimistic. Like Rudy I had to overcome obstacles and I did so by building resilience.
Family dynamics present interesting revelations, especially regarding the relationship between parents and children. While most families undoubtedly encounter dysfunction at some point throughout life, immigrant families seemingly experience such stress continually. A handful of short stories, including “Two Kinds” by Amy Tan, “Who’s irish” by Gish Jen, and “A Thousand Years of Good Prayers” by Yiyun Li, demonstrate how strained relations erupt in immigrant families. Familial tension noticeably arises because of the immigrant parents’ inability to fully adjust to the American way of life. Further, immigrant parents adhere to strict expectations in an attempt to uphold the family’s conservative heritage. Finally, immigrant parents typically
A research shows that “ America is very good at adopting new things and it’s a place that it’s ok to do what you want” but people should start finding happiness; they should realize what they are meant to do in this world.

Challenges Faced by Immigrants The changing environments throughout the ages have caused the movement of thousands of families out of their homelands. Whether forced to make such decisions or doing so by their own desires, all immigrants have had to survive the physical and psychological challenges encountered along the way. To speak about the experiences of all these different people using the same ideas and examples would be quite inaccurate. They all, however, had to live through similar situations and deal with similar problems.

From my understanding, I have come to view resilience as the art of not dwelling. This personal definition, I recognize, only summarizes half of the word’s meaning, not even touching on the action of recovery.

As a person who prefers math and science, problem solving from an analytical perspective is an enjoyable task, but when emotions are involved the process gets derailed or takes longer. I have found that using my strategy of not dwelling I am able to analytically look at my situation and consider my next steps to
