                     Preparation

                                                 Migration



                                                           People  nowadays  seek  greener  pasture
                                                 and  the  best  way  to  have  it  is  by  working  and
                                                 living abroad. The usual destination they go to is
                                                 USA,  the  land  of  milk  and  honey.  They  believe
                                                 migrating to America would make them richer and
                                                 avail the good things in life such as free education.
                                                 The sacrifice they have to make though is leaving
               everything behind which includes their relatives, friends and the dear place
               they grew up in. Another is the need to adjust to their new environment. Is it

               really worth migrating to a foreign country or is just enough to work on what you
               already have?
