Three months ago you let me embark on the most amazing journey of my life. Thank you for letting me have the chance to better myself in such a great country as the United States. The boat trip was quite rough, but I got through it. When I got to the United States some of the people were very kind and welcoming, but others were not. Just because of the small tint to my skin color and my religion some people won't even give me the time of day. My English is getting better but it still isn't perfect, so it's been hard trying to find a legitimate job here.
I have found a gigantic group of other German people that are just like me. I have moved into their neighborhood and I am currently attending their church. The food they serve in this neighborhood is just like the food you cook at home! It is almost like a little Germany in the middle of this great American city. It reminds me of home so much.
Once I leave my German neighborhood it immediately turns into a very foreign place. Nothing looks or feels anything like Germany. Everyone looks and acts so much different than the people back home. I really want to be like them so I am starting to shop for American cloths and food. I hope you and father are not mad that I want to adopt some of the culture from the Americans. I want to be able to fit in and socialize, work, study, and eat with people that don't live in the little Germany neighborhood. Once again thank you for giving me this extraordinary opportunity.
Love,
Mason
