America calling : a foreign student in a country of possibility

This is a lovely and wonderful book. Rajika's story gives a nice insight into what foreign students encounter when they migrate to America. People like Rajika and many others who come looking to enhance or better their life are sadly overshadowed by the bad actors.

I am adopted from South Korea. I was just a baby so I have had the experience that Rajika did but I did experience some racism due to my ethnicity. It was luckily, not as bad as people are dealing with it in today's world but still horrible. Yet, if I was older I could imagine myself experiencing what Rajika did with people interactions, food, and currency. All things that people who live in America don't really think about or take for granted.

As Rajika says that foreigners show more contribute to the US economy in a lot more ways than just financially. She is right. There are many that get an education in law, medicine, science, and technology to name a few. All important to our society. Thus, America needs to make it easier for foreigners to be able to stay in the US. show less
