Jennifer moved to the United States from mainland China when she was 21 years old in 2002. She has been in the United States for more than eight years now. This was what she thought of America before she arrived:
Before coming to the United States, inside my heart, I dreamed the United States as a paradise. Very nice place. A dreamed land. However, my friend also told me that jobs in the United States are tiring. Anyways, before I arrived, I had a wonderful image about the United States.”
