Change The World- Blog Post #8

     Immigrants want so much to be a part of our society does it even occur to us that maybe they could bring something to it? I think it's wrong that immigrants are trying so hard to be us and have us accept them. Isn't our country supposed to be land of the free? Aren't we supposed to be the country to accept people no matter where they come from? I think it's wrong that any immigrants have this midset of 'I am going to americanize my baby' I do not think it's right. I think they should be able to speak their language freely but learn english so they can communicate with others. I do not think it is wrong that immigrants come and bring something to our culture. Our culture is made up of a whole bunch of countries putting together idea's anyway. That's what happened when we colonized America.
     For all those international students out there I encourage you to bring something here. I encourage you to bring your traditions, ideas, and traditions and introduce them to America. I love to learn about different countries. I love to learn about the differences between us and how we were raised. The differences about our government and yours. I like to learn about your traditions and holidays. I think everyone can learn something positive and new if they would just listen to others it might change them; make them more grateful for the things we have here and open their eyes more. For someone who hides themselves in a different country and doesn't try to express where they are from and how different it is there from where they came from, can be wrong. People are supposed to learn from each other. We are supposed to make friends and tell them all about where we came from. It is fun and entertaining.
     Someone who hides, doesn't wonder, or ask questions doesn't understand the point of life. They don't understand why they are here and the point of travel. St. Augustine said, "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." The things you miss out when you don't travel is immense. So go out and do things. Go out make a difference, listen, and change the world one trip at a time.



"There are no foreign lands.
It is the traveler only, who is foreign"
Robert Louis Stevenson
