Questions:Immigration Case Study

   Primary documents help us know where a certain way of life or what was made, started. They can help us find out how the world came to be the way it is today. The primary documents could have changed in the last two decades by being lost or not being learned about. The impact from this could be people telling stories that have not really happened and people would not know how something was really started in the past.

Lap 3 Inspiration Blog #2: Mark Tremonti

   Mark Tremonti is one of my most favorite guitar players ever. He plays in one of favorite bands called Alter Bridge and when he does solos, I wonder how long it could take to do that well on guitar. His guitar parts sound so fun to play. As a matter of fact, I am actually trying to learn one of their songs and I still need to learn his parts. It may be easy for others, but he makes me want to try to learn to play faster and play just as well.

Lap 3 Inspiration Blog #1: My Father

   My Dad inspires me so much. He makes sure I do well in school. He wants me to go to college no matter what. Because of him, I am well disciplined, which makes me know what right is from wrong. He has actually saved me from one of the most horrible situations in my life. If it were not for how he raised me and how much of a good person he is, I would probably not make it in life.

Culture

   Culture has had a great contribution to how I am today. My family and friends helped as well. If it were not for my culture, I would not be like how I am today.
   My family did very well in school. I would feel ashamed if I did not succeed in school. In fact, my aunt would cry if she got below an A in her class. She was that well of a student. My uncles and aunts recognize me as an influence for the kids in my family. So this pressures me a little bit, but it keeps me from doing horrible in school. My dad also keeps me from doing bad. If I get any where below a B in classes, i could be grounded and be considered as a slacker. My culture also made me a carnivore. I love the food that my family makes. It tastes so good and it makes me not want to become a vegetarian.

What does it mean to be an American?

   I think there are multiple ways a person could be called an American. There is respect and loyalty. A person can respect any other citizens of the United States of America and they can be loyal to the land at all times.
   When I say that being loyal to the land at all times I mean by not terrorizing anyone on American soil or just by hating America with a cold passion. I believe that anyone that wants to cause a crime such as murder, stealing, and bombing should obviously not be called an American. An American should be a person that lives there life freely with no crimes being commited.
   American citizens should respect each other at all times. Not respecting a citizen of America could be just like disrespecting America itself because there would be no America without people. If Americans respect one another there could be no problems at all.
