Immigrant Stories is a research and archiving project run by the Immigration History Research Center (IHRC) at the University of Minnesota. Immigrant Stories helps immigrants, refugees, and their family members create digital stories: brief videos with images, text, and audio about a personal experience.
\n\nThis project defines \"immigrant\" broadly. Our collection contains digital stories from people living outside their country of birth as well as stories created by their children and grandchildren. Immigrant Stories also welcomes stories from international students, international adoptees, and people who do not feel that their stories fit a particular, or just one, category. All stories are important, and we invite you to make a video and share yours with us.

I was born in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2002, the International\nOrganization for migration was in our Hmong village and they interviewed all of us to come to\nthe United States. In 2004, I arrived in Denver, Colorado. I was 13 years old and I went to\nmiddle school for one year. Then I went to Arvada High School for 4 years.\nMy freshman year of high school I started to play soccer. My soccer team liked me a lot\nand they liked how I played. I was the only Hmong guy on our team. There were a few Asians\nand Mexicans, but most of the team was white. They taught me to speak English. At the same\ntime we were playing soccer and practiced together. My sophomore year, I made the most\ngoals on our team. It was 29 goals and I represented my school to the conference award. I was\nthe second highest score in the conference. I had the second Team All-Conference Award from\nthe Jefferson County League from 2006-2007.\nThis award is very important for me because it reminds me how to communicate with\npeople from other counties. I think soccer was a great opportunity for people- immigrants like\nme who do not know how to speak English, because I learned English from the team when I\nplayed soccer. Sometimes it was hard to understand each other, but I always used body\nlanguage to communicate.\nIn 2010, my family and I moved from Colorado to Minnesota because we needed help\nwith food stamps, more jobs, and relatives live in Minnesota. Life in Minnesota is going pretty\nwell. I married my wife in 2011. I have happiness with my wife and family.\nNow, I have a part time job at the casino and I go to school. I really like it, because I use\nmy English lessons from soccer to communicate with my boss, people in the college, and\nteachers.\nFinally, I will retain this award to remind me that I have been through a lot of things. I\nwill keep motivating myself to move forward and be patient. I will not be shy. I will be\nconfident in myself when I communicate with people. Then, one day, I can become successful.", "kaltura_video": "1_f0p10s68", "page_count": 0, "record_type": "primary", "first_viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "viewer_type": "kaltura_video", "attachment": "69.pdf", "attachment_format": "pdf", "document_type": "item", "featured_collection_order": 999, "date_added": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_added_sort": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "date_modified": "2021-01-26T00:00:00Z", "_version_": 1710337983818760192, "type": "Moving Image", "collection": "p16022coll554", "is_compound": false, "parent_id": "50", "thumb_url": "https://cdnapisec.kaltura.com/p/1369852/thumbnail/entry_id/1_f0p10s68", "thumb_cdn_url": "https://dkp5i0hinw9br.cloudfront.net/4a1930574e48f8b96921474e08335aeaa3915c7d.png", "children": [ ] }
