Introduction – (Tell exactly what you will do and say.) A. Greeting and Attention getter: In my 19 years on this Earth, I have never met anyone with the name Moshier. Heck if you were to google it you won’t find thousands of profiles with Moshier, it’ll be just me. But believe it or not in Egypt where I was born there is at least one person with that name as I am indeed named after him. B. Main forecasted points – overview (Preview of what is to come/thesis statement): Being an immigrant has always been the largest factor on my identity. I was born in Egypt and my parents moved to Mount Laurel, NJ when I was 11 months old. Being one has had numerous impacts on my life, but it has made me a hardworking and independent and at times alienated. III.

I am more Independent I am more alienated My parents were used to be busier with work so as I grew older, I needed to teach myself a lot of things that others may not have needed to. I used to struggle working with people because I often struggled to be extroverted and I worked better alone. Due to most of my family being back in Egypt I often felt alienated in terms of a large family presence. Thanksgivings at my house for some of the early years were just my parents, my sister and I. When I was younger, I preferred to work alone on school projects and homework because I wasn’t good at communicating. Christmases were similar and any major holiday which involved a large family gathering was often just smaller. For my summer job the past two years I did not need anyone and could go days or weeks without asking someone about it because of the nature of the job. I didn’t have that large family and close relationship with them because they were so far away and spoke a different language. It meant I could not lean on them and look at them as role models because I didn’t know them. IV. The conclusion (Tell exactly what you will do and say.) A. Transition Sentence: Being raised in this environment and as an immigrant has had massive impacts on me and my identity. B. Restatement of main points: It has made me feel alienated from American culture and friends at times but has also made me an independent and hardworking student and employee who is able to take on any task thrown his way. C. Closer/Wow/Full Circle: And there is not a day that goes by where I don’t thank my parents for the great leap of faith, they took by pursuing life, liberty, and happiness. Say thank you.
