New Kids Yasmeen And Mohamod Analysis

358 Words2 Pages

While reading the second part of New Kids Yasmeen and Mohamod stories really resonated with me both for similar reasons. Yasmeen came to American with a complete family, her parents and siblings. Through the course of just one year her entire world has flipped upside-down. She lost both parents at different time and had to take on the role as caretaker for her younger siblings. She did this while also having to attend school. She has had to make great sacrifices in order to provide for her siblings. At Yesmeens age, I could barely take care of myself, let alone my family. She has had to be the rock and foundation for her family, which is a great deal of responsibility to be put on a teenager.
On the other hand Mohammad Blah has also gone

    604 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a child of immigrant parents, my formative years in elementary and middle school were shaped by two important factors: the environment in which I lived and my background. My parents worked hard to settle into a new life in a foreign country to provide better opportunities for our family. This meant that we had to be flexible about where we lived due to relocating for jobs, and fluid about our ideas of culture. I recall the daunting nature of moving to a new city, twice, as a child. The prospect of leaving everything that was familiar to me and forming new friendships in an unfamiliar environment was a challenge.

    Two Worlds, One Girl There are many different cultures around the world, but you never really know what is like being between two different cultures, until you are experiencing it yourself. While growing up, I had the privilege and misfortune of becoming familiar with two different cultures: my family’s culture, from their birth country, Guatemala, and the culture of the United States of America. I say misfortune not because it was a disaster, catastrophe, or bad luck; I say it because sometimes you get so used to being in one culture that you start to forget about your family’s origin. Sometimes you even like something in one culture better than the other, and you feel guilty for having a preference.
