Almost every person who presented started with..." nothing exciting really happened in my family." or "my family is pretty boring." After they spit out somthing along those lines they would tell this stellar story of how their grandparents were smuggled across the boarder or something. so why do…

Would I be considered an Immigrant?

During the time of the immigrant unit and the family history project in AS I thought alot about what I am in the American system or culture.
What could a foreign exchange student that was born and raised on the other side of the Atlantic talk about that had to do with immigration?

"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject.  That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01.
