My name is Andrea Alcantar, i'm from Mexicali Baja California. When i was nine years old i came to the united states, and was really scare since my first language is Spanish. i felt really scare when i knew that i needed to start making new friends on a new place that i wouldn’t know if they would understand me. Therefore, when i had my first day of school they had introduced me to a students who name was Stephanie. she help a lot when it comes to my work, writing and reading as well as speaking and translating me English to Spanish. After all this years leaving in the US, i have learn a lot. That everyone knows even a little of Spanish weather is for working etc. Sometimes i ask myself what would've happened if i have never came to the US to live .
In the united states there was a lot of racism and there wasn't respect at all. until three black students decide to stand up for their rights and even if they weren't from the same color they should not only be treated equally but also when they are being payed. people started to realize how big of a deal this was. so the president John F. Kennedy decided to start the planning of the civil rights, and then he said, " I will not be fully free until all of its citizens are free. This was the response that president John F. Kennedy gave to the American Society since they wanted to stop the discrimination that was going on in the 60รข€™s. Which didn't let some people go into churches, restaurants, and restroom. But mostly this happened to the black community. Once the Civil Rights was done a lot of this discrimination was almost fully stop and it made people realize that just because they are not the same skin color they are still human and should be treated the same.
