Really dont know what they were up to. Came to the US with only 200 dollars after being jobless in kenya for 4trs and bila makaratasi but made it. I was ready hata nikiambiwa nilime mitaro kwa mashamba,nifanye mjengo. Nilikuwa nimechoka na ukosefu wa kazi kenya na kushindwa kulisha family.Quick job without minding my class did dish wahing under the table,carpentry building stairs ,maintenace in a hotel and anything to put aa dollar in my pocket and sending money every month to my wife. Put my self back in university graduated working many hours and finushed my masters degree in public health became a citizen,bought two houses and brought my wife and kids. It's just your vision in life and strategy. You can make or fail in the US with no vision but chances of making it are 90% especially in smaller towns. Dont go to big cities like NY

I passed through all my school life from primary to doctoral degree under government sponsorship but one has to stand out of the group and that's how the system was in our country. I m now retired and enjoying out here. We have 3 children and all have used government scholarships to pass through university.

any one that tells me the usa is more difficult than kenya id say is just soft.if i ever get the chance to go to the usa id work my ass off to never have to come back to my current situation in kenya.i think america is just a level more competitive as an african i have accustomed to this id rather go to the usa and work for 20 yrs and come invest my savings here than just be comfortable here.

Trust me if you are making good money plz don't go to America .....worst of all don't move your family there ....my sister's entire family moved to California 10 years ago this is her 2 daughters, husband, and one son. About 4 years ago she moved back despite having a good job as a manager in a store and her husband also earning well. The sad truth is people forget about the indoctrination in American public schools, her son almost mutilated his genitals in claims of feeling like a woman trust me (they call them Transgender) I don't really understand it either. All they had heard of was a large number of homosexuals in America and were mentally prepared for it. She says the scariest moment of her life was when they were called for a meeting by a counselor and asked to take the child to some type of clinic to be educated about putting the child on different hormones and maybe they would help him change to a girl coz he felt like one. she was this close to agreeing due to fear of her son becoming suicidal .... that's when the husband decided to bring them all back here to Kenya for a visit and a bit of advice from her family members. They stayed for some months and realized the son's suicidal tendencies reduced drastically. They also realized that the puberty blockers the school was suggesting they put on their son were the same drugs they give pedophiles in jails to reduce their desires. They did not go back after realizing these began their life again and now surprisingly the son is back to being a son, in fact, he is the manliest of all the nephews in the family ....we sometimes make fun of how him and he would be a woman if they didn't come home....he cant even imagine it ..trust me don't subject your children to the psychological torture of the west if you already earn well

[@kimkhammurabi]

Thanks for being candid: many don't have the courage to say these crazy things that go on in US. I have always wanted to go there but honestly speaking, when I think about what awaits my kids there, I recoil.

[@SarahSmith-hu6qd]

And many people don't look at these situations all they care about is money but on the other side of the coin, things are bad!!

[@Temboz]

I live in the state of NY and what you said is true..though very taboo,it's true we got kids identifying to anything they feel like..transgender,some want to identify as animals or objects and their needs have to be taken care off otherwise...schools can get sued,loose funding and parents have no say...we will see what happens with the incoming Trump Administration.

Why would a family opt to reside in expensive states and/or cities in USA? California is extremely expensive particularly the housing market- rentals and/or sales. So are Washington, New York city and so on. It's pertinent to conduct thorough research prior to making such great decisions. Parents ought to have also researched the education status for the children's sake and the ramifications.

The American system doesn't recognize higher education outside America so u just have to start from a common place

[@JulzMuya]

There are so many opportunities. No need to stick to nursing. I have no idea why Kenyans stick to this one profession even when they don't like it and it's not even fulfilling for them. There's more to life than just surviving to pay bills.

@@JulzMuya Exactly. It is unfortunately a herd mentality and most of these people are doing what other Kenyans who came before are doing. Most people are unwilling to be independent thinkers, particularly Africans...for some reason. There, I said it lol

Essie Wakago! Friendly Vlogging advice....and Audio advice when you are doing interviews. The microphone belongs to the person you are interviewing. You don't even need to be in the picture frame. The story belongs to the person you are interviewing. Get 2 microphones, 2 Cameras if it is absolutely important forr you to be seen and heard.

Sometimes you have options back home. If you don't you will just have to 'wear a thick skin' and make it happen. We simply have next to none opportunities back home......

For one to do an KCSE one has to do an equation test. This is what happens. I have reservations on her claim that they wanted a bribe. Not fair because our Kenyan education system is quite credible.

Hi guys. Quick question… after getting the Green Card on the DV Lottery system and you go back to your home country, can you still go back to the States as a citizen/Green Card holder? I mean, would that visa still be valid?

[@ndouglas3294]

Yes. You can travel back and forth with a greencard. However, you have a limit of how long you could stay at your home country...I think 6 months.
