Download or read book My Underground American Dream written by Julissa Arce and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Bestseller! What does an undocumented immigrant look like? What kind of family must she come from? How could she get into this country? What is the true price she must pay to remain in the United States? JULISSA ARCE knows firsthand that the most common, preconceived answers to those questions are sometimes far too simple-and often just plain wrong. On the surface, Arce's story reads like a how-to manual for achieving the American dream: growing up in an apartment on the outskirts of San Antonio, she worked tirelessly, achieved academic excellence, and landed a coveted job on Wall Street, complete with a six-figure salary. The level of professional and financial success that she achieved was the very definition of the American dream. But in this brave new memoir, Arce digs deep to reveal the physical, financial, and emotional costs of the stunning secret that she, like many other high-achieving, successful individuals in the United States, had been forced to keep not only from her bosses, but even from her closest friends. From the time she was brought to this country by her hardworking parents as a child, Arce-the scholarship winner, the honors college graduate, the young woman who climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs-had secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant. In this surprising, at times heart-wrenching, but always inspirational personal story of struggle, grief, and ultimate redemption, Arce takes readers deep into the little-understood world of a generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today- people who live next door, sit in your classrooms, work in the same office, and may very well be your boss. By opening up about the story of her successes, her heartbreaks, and her long-fought journey to emerge from the shadows and become an American citizen, Arce shows us the true cost of achieving the American dream-from the perspective of a woman who had to scale unseen and unimaginable walls to get there.

This is the true story of a Pakistani Muslim who immigrates to the United States for college and discovers five transformational freedoms along the way: the freedom to fail and start over, to love, to choose one’s faith, to be an entrepreneur, and to self-govern. Contrasting these precious freedoms with the life he lived in Pakistan, Ali’s story reveals that God is the true source of liberty as He works in people’s lives to bring about redemption. A call to value and preserve American freedoms, Beyond the Golden Door is also an invitation for readers to consider ultimate freedom in Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Immigrant Steps to American Dream written by MR Sid K Vaidya and published by Diamonds of Diversity LLC. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sid Vaidya's Immigrant Steps to American Dream features his "Diamonds of Diversity" plan for success. Using Baseball as a metaphor, Sid shows you how to succeed one base at a time! You're up! "From the time I arrived in the USA at the age of 19 as a poor, hungry and driven immigrant in December 1966, it took me years to achieve sustained success. For me, that meant having multiple homes, multiple cars and boats, lasting marriage to an American born white woman, highly educated successful children, a great career, great friends, money in the bank and travels around the world. For you, success might mean something altogether different. It is a personal journey. While I acknowledge that success does not mean happiness, I do believe happiness without success is elusive. Success is residue of diligence. I do not want to forget what I did right to get it. Therefore, I have documented my own secret of success. You cannot achieve something if you do not know what it is. You have to decide what you want. Having a vision will give you something to focus on. Begin where you are, with what you have. A current survey shows that 80% of the population, i.e. "Four out of five US adults" struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives. It points to an increasing globalized US economy, the widening gap between 'haves' and 'have-nots' and a loss of good paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend." While racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to live in poverty, hardship and pessimism are on the rise among 'working whites'. This book will show you that sustained success is ensued by a lifetime of commitment to doing the right things. Consider all of this as a buffet of information. Take what you like and try a few more times what you did not you might just like it. A wise man once told me, "When the student is ready, the teacher arrives." I believe you are ready!"
