Book excerpt: Ibrahim came to the U.S., from Nigeria, on August 29, 2000 to pursue higher learning. He perceived America as a place where he could seek greener pastures and acquire opportunities that his home country could not have offered him at the time. His ideas of the American high-life are abruptly contrasted with the harsh realities that he encountered on a daily basis. Everyday became a bitter struggle as he had to chillingly accept the realization of instant independence, and the culture shock being away from the surroundings of his familiar homeland and family. In this emotional story, Ibrahim has remarkably captured the tribulations that he experienced during his first year living in the U.S. Diary of an Immigrant is a powerful, revealing, but yet humorous compilation of his quest and pursuit of the American dream.
