Why Should I Go to America?


It is one month since I have come to America, I am exciting many Chinese live in the St. Louis than I expected.  As we know, with the accelerating pace of modern life, more and more Chinese move to U.S rather than stay in China throughout their lives. However, reasons are perhaps different.

Firstly, there is no doubt that moving to America means more opportunities. For instance, compared with China, we are more likely to get a well paid job in big city, an advanced education in famous university, a well developed health care system and a high-quality medical facilities in hospital. These institutions can ensure our basic desires: property and safety.

Then, some others get higher pursuit: freedom and justice. In fact, China is still a developing country. The economy is growing fast meanwhile so does the wealth gap, this main social problem and contradiction leads more people do not trust political party want to change themselves lives so that they try to move to a fresh environment. It is another point why Chinese people choose America firstly.

In conclusion, whatever we want, we both go after our American dreams. As for me, besides study in Webster University, expanding horizon, enlarging social circle, leaning American culture and enriching my life, both are significant reasons why I go to America.
