My grandma and grandpa lived in London, England at the time. First they immigrated through Canada where they stayed for a little while. There they obtained green cards and things so that they could come to the U.S and after about five years they moved to San-Francisco.]]> 2018-05-18 04:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/905001/du1fj2csh957/wish/261804263 Why? 905001 https://padlet.com/905001/du1fj2csh957/wish/261804988 My grandma and grandpa came to the U.S because of new opportunities. My grandmother wanted to further her teaching career and come to the U.S to do so. My grandpa had worked in the Royal Navy in England and after that acquired a great deal of knowledge pertaining to aviating electronics. He wanted to come to the U.S for the same reasons being more job opportunities. He took our family to San-Francisco where he worked on flight recorders]]> 2018-05-18 04:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/905001/du1fj2csh957/wish/261804988 Obstacles 905001 https://padlet.com/905001/du1fj2csh957/wish/261808373 Fortunately my family didn't encounter too many major issues coming to the U.S however some of the biggest of issues the faced was the cost of housing. They were coming from Canada into California so immediately the prices seemed to skyrocket for them. Another issue was how many times my dad and his brothers had to switch schools. This just made coming to a new place so often a real challenge for them.]]> 2018-05-18 05:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/905001/du1fj2csh957/wish/261808373 Events at the time 905001 https://padlet.com/905001/du1fj2csh957/wish/262145978 At the time my family immigrated to Canada in 1967 the Vietnam war was going on. When my family was coming to the U.S and finally arrived in the U.S in 1975/1976 the Watergate scandals were happening/being dealt with as well as the Vietnam War ending in April. At this time there was also the big

Bicentennial which was a bunch of celebrations the paid tribute to the creation of the U.S as a independent republic
