"I Wish I Went to School" with John Mier

John Mier is a young Filipino who came to America when he was 18 years old. He used to live in Namo City with his mom, his dad, and his sister. His mom and sister moved to Daly city California a few years before he did. John admits to miss the Philippines truly; however, he does not regret have come to Daly City with his mother and sister because "it's nice outhere." John also struggles his conception of the American Dream was to have money and no worries, yet he learned through his experience in America that an easy life comes out with a lot of hard labor work. His reflections and wishes express his concern about how if kept on going to school after high school, instead of just work, he would have a stable economic life.
 
In the interview we went through a set of few questions in which he reflects the results of his choices towards coming to America with no higher education experience:
Section 1: Life in the Philippines as a teenager
Section 2: Leaving the Philippines
Section 3: Reactions to his new "home"
Section 4: Adapting to the US as a Filipino immigrant
Section 5: Lessons learned through the experience
