There are two main reasons why people migrate - some migrate willingly while others feel compelled to migrate. Those who migrate willingly do so to pursue opportunities like higher education, career advancement, or to be with family. Others feel they have no choice and migrate due to threats like natural disasters, discrimination, or lack of freedom or equality in their home country. The document then provides a personal anecdote where the author reluctantly migrated with her family from Canada to China as a child, but ultimately adjusted to her new home. Push factors drive people away from their home against their will, while pull factors attract migrants to new places willingly.

4. Why did I move? I was born in Jinan, China. When I was 4 years old, my parents took me took Canada. They took me there because they wanted me to grow up in North America. I lived there for 6 years, but when I turned 10, my parents decided to take me back to China. I was absolutely horrified. In Canada, I had many friends, I knew my way around everything, I loved my house and neighborhood, we lived right by the sea, my best friend lived 2 blocks down, it was all perfect. I didn’t want to leave everything behind. But my parents wanted to improve my mother tongue, and they wanted me to experience a new place. When I actually moved to China, it was actually not bad. My school was cool, I made new friends, and I got a dog. Things started looking up!

5. Push Factors & Pull factors Push factors are people that are pushed out of there Nationality, but they don’t want to go. Pull factors are people that pull the people from there Nationality. It’s like predator and prey.
