About Me

For many years, I had stood on the sideline and let everyone talk about immigration on my behalf.  For years, I had felt like I shouldn't make any demand from the USA despite the fact that I had paid $$$ into the system, through income taxes, sales taxes, property taxes , out-of-state tuition etc, etc.  I never felt entitled to make demands from the USA.  I just feel if I am a guest to someone's home, for example,  if I am living in an American family who host foreign students for cultural exchange, it will be really rude and crazy of me to demand my host family to treat me equally like they treat their kids by putting me in their will as an heir to their house.

So, for years as a green card holder, I didn't pay much attention to American politics, and I had no expectation of what America could do for me. I have to say no matter how I tried to ignore the U.S. politics, the 2016 election was one U.S. election that got me watching.  I just don't want to stand on the sideline in 2020, like I did in the 2016 election, voiceless and powerless.

Now as a new citizen,  I still don't have any expectation about what America can do for me.  I was raised by a culture that advocates  people not to expect what the country can do for me, but what I can do for my family and myself. I however feel I finally earned my right to express myself.

P.S. No matter how many times I re-read what I wrote, I can always find typo and grammatical errors, so bear with me since English isn't my first language.  If you are interested in being my editor to help edit what I write, please feel free to contact me.

Update Social Security After Name Change During Naturalization

Image
I had opted for a name change during my naturalization to become a U.S. citizen.  As a result, I had turned what used to be my nick name that my English teacher picked out for me when I was in 7th grade back home, into my legal name as an American.  It's because I have been using this "English" nick name during my college years here in the USA and for working with my American colleagues and employers that I just wanted to make it legal when it was such an easy opt-in on the  naturalization application form.    I don't know how other immigrants feel about adopting a new American name as a new citizen.  But in my situation, I was just feeling tired and sick of having to explain to new colleagues or new employers as to why I preferred to be called my English nick name and not the legal name on my social security card, green card, and transcripts.  I think I probably had explained this over a thousand times through out the years: It's because nobody whom I've

I've Developed Agoraphobia During My Years As An Immigrant

Image
I was born and raised in a very crowded metropolis.  I was used to be crowded around by people wherever I went.  The typical class size of any grade I attended in my native country was 70 students.  But over time, I'd developed an anxiety condition that I didn't want to go to any concert or theme parks that had huge crowds.  I hadn't gone to the theater to watch a movie for 4 years.  I just feel very anxious around crowds.  I don't remember when exactly I started to have such phobia.  It was a gradual and subtle development until one day I felt as if I was going to pass out, and that my heart would stop when I was in a crowded concert at the Hollywood Bowl.  Today, I still remember the horrible experience when I had to walk through this very crowded and congested tunnel in Hollywood Bowl to exit to the parking lot.  I felt my journey to my car was like forever,  as if my heart was just going to die on me, and I would just fall and be trampled on before I could make

Studies That Claim Immigrants Are Less Likely To Commit Crime?

Image
As a new citizen, I learn quickly that New York Times seems to  have an agenda.  When I was growing up, my grandparents who fled a very brutal communist regime in the 1950s always told me that the communist dictator back in their home country always commanded all kinds of "scientific" studies to specifically meet his "expectation". Any scientists whose studies showed results that deviated from the dictator's political agenda were sent to labor camp if it was a lucky day, or they were quickly executed if it was just a regular day.  As a result, all newspapers back in my grandparents' home country were always reporting studies that showed skewed statistics. Yes, this is what having no free-press is all about!  This is why my grandparents fled their country they loved so very much.  No, they didn't flee here to the USA. If only they did, my life in the USA would have been so much easier. Why I came to the USA as an immigrant belongs to another post. Let
