 Jacob Dyrek's immigration to America was a success story.  Surviving the long journey and rigorous testing of Ellis Island, traveling across America to Chicago.  Jacob Dyrek left behind a legacy that still lives on today.  The significant impact that Jacob, and the other three hundred and fifty thousand Polish immigrants had on America will always be remembered.  Supplying the labor and talent needed to help this country becomes one of the most powerful and culturally diverse nations in the world.  (Reardon).

 The United States of America truly is a land with streets paved in golden opportunities.
