My Students

Yesterday, my students brought food for a party after class.  They all made foods that they love, foods from their original countries.  It was a wonderful feast!  We had a really good time.  They practiced their English, and I practiced my Spanish. 

My students are all very hard working, genuine people.  They have a real love of life, their families, and food.  I am lucky to have the opportunity to get to know and teach them.  I learn so much from them.  I enjoy learning the stories about their families, their jobs, how they came to the United States, and why they came to this country.  I have heard some amazing stories.  I have heard many stories of discrimination.  This makes me extremely sad.  Why can we not develop an immigration policy that is more equitable?  I understand that we have to protect our borders from terrorists.  My students are not criminals or terrorists.  They are people like you and me, with hopes and dreams.
