The differences between refugees’ dreams before and after coming to the United States of America is often shocking. One might ask, “Isn’t America the country of the refugees?” The United States is the largest nation built by refugees and immigrants, yet recently resettled refugees or “new Americans” struggle in multiple and overlapping ways to reach successful resettlement. Some of the challenges they face are inherent to resettlement, others come from the socialization process and the interplay of human beings as they exist together. Language is the natural struggle that any internationally-relocated person experiences. In this metropolitan area of Hampton Roads, around 200 refugees settle annually based on data adopted from the Virginia Department of Social Services. As an Iraqi international student who is an immigrant in this same area, I reach out to the refugees and the immigrants through teaching English classes every Friday in Newport News to help them learn the language faster and getting introduced to the American culture.
