Every year, millions of new immigrants step out in faith and leave their home countries to migrate to the United States of America. Though it is both exciting and daunting, a large percentage of those immigrants have nothing or no one to prepare them for the hardships of living the American Dream. In Navigating the United States of America , Betty Olela outlines key steps to take upon getting your American Visa and the challenges you can expect in the initial months/years of relocating to this country . As a new immigrant, Betty shares vital lessons from her own experience leaving the familiarity of her home country to come live amongst strangers with unfamiliar cultures and socio-economic structures. Olela believes that living the American dream does not have to be daunting, but in fact, an investment worth the effort. She also discusses the importance of getting a host, the significance of work and education, following the law, and the necessity of incorporating leisure and pleasure to help mitigate loneliness and mental health issues. This book is an encouragement and a delightful read as it is well-thought-out, straightforward, and easy to read. It will be a suitable gift to any immigrant or international student to any country, as the counsel is universal.
