Millions of families have immigrated into the United States since its founding. One such family was the Macaluso/Cusimano family. This family of Sicilians lived in Italy for three generations, until immigrating into the United States in 1894. Though they did not lead exciting, politically important, lives, they left their mark through an enormous bloodline whose oldest known source is Vincenzo Cusimano. His descendants, Dane Crosby being a member of the latest generation, went on, and continue to live on, to lead fruitful lives.

In the book Hands of My Father by Myron Uhlberg, I learned about a hearing child’s life being raised by two Deaf parents. I gained insight on hearing children with Deaf parents, how Deaf parents depend on their hearing children, frustrations associated with being a hearing child of Deaf parents, personal difficulties Myron encountered while interpreting for his parents, etc. Hearing children with Deaf parents often had the roles reversed, Deaf parents relied on hearing children to translate and explain things to them. If my parents were Deaf I’m sure I would do my best to help them when they need it just as Myron did. I am familiar with having to do more for my family than the average child
The family of Luis Rodriguez, like many Mexican Americans in the border regions from the 1950’s to the 1960’s, faced much disparity in the social and economic realm of their new homes and communities. Living in the United States, they believed, would allow for growth and opportunities not possible in Mexico. In their quests to lead a better life, the heads of many households had to work hard and long hours in order for the sustainment of their livelihood and in Luis Rodriguez’s case, both of his parents worked long and hard hours. Rodriguez’s parents wanted better for their family, but their journey to Los Angeles would forever change the trajectory of the life they envisioned for their family and, namely, for Luis Rodriguez. Born in El Paso, Texas, the Rodriguez family moved back and forth between the border and the region of Chihuahua, Mexico.

When reading the essay by Richard Rodriguez entitled “Public and Private Language,” I couldn’t help but feel the exact same why he did. For about four years I did not tell any of my family members I had learned Spanish; I didn’t want to be the translator. That is what Rodriguez is to his family because he knew English. Being a child if divorce I have two families, my mothers and my fathers, they both grew up in different places, my mother grew up in Texas, United States, and my father grew up in Montreal, Canada.

Sign language is a course that many schools do not offer as an elective or a foreign language credit. The assistant principal of Seton High School, Susan Hollenbach, explained that many smaller and private schools are not able to offer Sign Language as a course because they are unable to find the staffing and resources for the class.

Also, the administration has to decide whether or not the certain course will take away from other classes and possibly diminish the class size of another class which
