Faces of America
Watching the stories of famous children of immigrants was touching to hear everything they have lived through. It must have been so hard coming to America from another country. I can't imagine not knowing where I was going to live or work. Some left their the rest of their family in their country to come make a better life for their family here. These immigrants are so brave. They suffered to be here, but did it for better opportunities. Some of the stories here that I have listened to remind me of my grandparents. They came over from Scotland and England when my father was Thirteen years old. My grandpa came to America to create a better life for his children and my grandmother left all of her family. Till this day my grandma talks about how hard it was to come here and leave everything. She would bring her children back to visit several times a year because she was so sad. I don't know much about my great grandparents, I think these stars are lucky because they are able to find out more about their ancestors. Some of the things they have found out are life changing. It is also wonderful to know these immigrants came here and became American Citizens. They did not have to, but they wanted to truly belong to America and create their new life here.
