America For The Newbie - Joey Matthew
Foreword
Although this book is intended especially for people who come to the United States to stay for at least a while, most of the ideas and suggestions will help anyone starting their new life here. All suggestions in this book are based on experiences by the author when he landed in Houston on October 10, 1986 with fifteen dollars in his pocket and his life after that.
He is considered very lucky compared to many other well-educated immigrants from many foreign countries who landed here, some even took their own lives, including their loved ones — a ‘2008-murder-suicide’ in California, when an unemployed accounting-industry worker from Bangalore, India, who was despondent over financial problems shot and killed his wife, his three children, his mother-in-law and himself in an upscale home in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles — or stooped so low as to drive taxies, cut grass for the public, paint houses, living homeless, and even marrying for a green card, all to survive in this new place.
One young Indian immigrant with a Ph.D., from India even found his belongings on the lawn in front of the house where he was temporarily staying after losing his job — in a well-to-do suburb in Houston — because of his ignorance about the new country. In fact he had quit one well-paying job and taken up another, before the INS processed his papers. When the new employer abruptly withdrew the job offer — he probably found a more ideal candidate — while our hero was vacationing, he found himself without a job or valid papers on his return to Houston. One of the local church volunteers who took pity on him and hired him to babysit in return for free boarding, had lost his patience and thrown him out without any warning!
All the anecdotes described here are real, but names and places may have been changed to avoid any hard feelings. If you liked parts of the book, please tell would be readers and if any parts were unsuitable, outdated or disturbing to you, please drop me a line.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for reading this book, I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject, and
