sharing the life stories of immigrants, expatriates, and refugees to the United States
Riddle: How do you know a clock is hungry?
Answer: It goes back four seconds.
What's So Funny?
This riddle is funny to English speakers because "four seconds" sounds the same as another expression, "for seconds." This other expression means when you've enjoyed your food so much, you go back to the kitchen to re-fill your plate a second time (for seconds).
Feel Like You Belong is a sometimes serious, sometimes funny, always “touch-your-heart” real conversation about fitting into the American culture. It introduces guests who have made the immigrant journey to the United States. The stories–of both struggle and success–will help newcomers feel more confident in sharing their opinions and expertise, more likely to want to stay in the U.S., be more productive in their jobs, and fully invest in their communities.
