Children of Immigrants Reflection

Part 2: Children of Immigrants
My favorite picture was called The Preuss School UCSD. This one stood out to me because I reminded me of when I saw the movie Freedom Writers. In that movie there are a lot of High schoolers who are the children of immigrants. In the movie they also learn about the holocaust which made me think of the From haven to Home exhibit.
My favorite quote was "Home is a place my family and me can be safe. A place to eat, to study, and take a bath. Also the sweetest and safest place I have ever been.", this quote spoke ti me because in your home you feel very safe and private. in other counties they do not have that luxury. I feel that I am blessed that I do. The personal essay that I chose is called Land of the Brave. I can relate to this essay because through out the whole thing the main character has to be brave and overcome many challenges. I can relate because we all face many difficult challenges in my daily life. This gave me a glimpse through the eyes of an immigrant by showing me that almost everything in the life of an immigrant is a monuments challenge
