HOW A TRIP CAN CHANGE A LIFE?
How a simple trip to another country can change your life. Wednesday 17th 2010 I left my country where I stayed 21 years for come in USA. It was a big event which changed my life because It is the first time when I leave my country and my family. It is difficult to imagine how a simple trip can change many things in your life. Personally this event changed my life negatively and positively.
My life has started to change negatively due only two reasons. The first is that I live in a very united family. So it was very difficult for me to separate with them. I am here since one month and yet I am not in habit to stay far than my family. Although I can not see them I try to talk with them every day. The second reason is I like too much my country’s food. I can not eat him here because I can not cook. But I know that can not do otherwise because it is my choice and choice means lose something too.
My life changes positively because I know that I will receive a good education in USA because there are good universities here. This is the main reason that I chose to leave Senegal for come to study in United States. Another positive thing is I study a new language that is English. That is a good thing to speak English because it is the first language in the world. Although the learning is so difficult for me yet, I say that I will be good if I practice a lot. Another positive point is I meet a lot of people with deferent culture .The united states are a country very diversified because there are a lot of people who come from all over .
Even if the beginning is difficult for me now I hope that I will it will be better for me in a few days. But the most important is to discover many new things. I think that life is just series of adventure and I hope that I will make others cases of adventure.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Immigration means entry into a foreign country of people who come to them to stay and work there. But illegal immigration concerned the inhabitants of poor country seeking a better life in richer countries. Illegal immigration is done so illegally. Like most countries in Africa, Senegal is an underdeveloped country. The rate of unemployment is too high making the lives of many young people very difficult. Faced with this poverty Senegal has experienced a very unfortunate event that is the immigration of young people to Spain. How was it happened and what were the main reasons?
From the years 2004 a good number of young Senegalese one takes the phenomena of illegal immigration to leave Senegal and Join Spain pregnant by the sea canoes for several reasons. These young Senegalese s disbursed a sum equivalent to $ 800 to board a small boat filled with people. They passed through the ocean and made a trip of about 15 days or more.
This phenomenon was due to several reasons. The first reason is the high unemployment rate in our country. Many young graduates unable to find work in the country. This difficulty is due to lack of infrastructure and enterprise can hire these new graduates. Some even go so far as to say that the Senegalese school is training unemployed.
The second reason is the need to try to get his family out of misery. Many young are born in Senegal and we grew up in poverty and misery. These young people are in great difficulty because they have to lighten the task of their parent in the family who has kept up a certain age. So we are in needs to be autonomous and able to take charge. What makes a certain age they want to change their lives and families’ lives.
The third reason is the difficulty of obtaining a visa in the rules of art. As in all countries of Africa, obtaining a visa to leave the country is very difficult. This difficulty is related to the need to have great financial means, to a procedure very lengthy and sometimes you must be very lucky. This difficulty is also related to the reasons listed above which do that there are many applications.
I agree that living conditions in Senegal for some person. But I think it’s not worth risking his life in his canoe. I advise all the young of my country to go through legal way for immigration. I think even that is not a good solution for the country if all young people leave even if I'm in the same case.
