sharing the life stories of immigrants, expatriates, and refugees to the United States
A woman goes to see her psychiatrist.
She says, “Doctor, I keep having dreams about my childhood camping trips. I can’t get rid of this nostalgia.”
The psychiatrist nods. “I think I see your problem. You’re stuck living in the past tents.”
What’s So Funny?
The expression “past tents” (former tents) sounds like “past tense” (grammar expression for “past time”).
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.
