Immigration


Like most people who in my country, my parents were immigrants when they came here. Like most immigrant parents they still haven't got the concept that my culture and their culture isn't the same. They expect me to be exactly like them, and that isn't happening any time. I hate how my mom always things that she knows everything that is going on in my life. My mom is so afraid of this new culture that she feels like she has to protect us from us. if she doesn't know what we are doing it basically means that we are doing something wrong. Like most immigrant parents anything that they don't understand basically means that we can't get involved in. I remeber that when i was in the fifth grade i had to go to camp, and my mother fought the school for 2 months trying to persue them not to take me to go on the trip. I wish that one day they are able to let me go so that i could become my own person you know.
