Ebola
I have learned many interesting things as i'm researching my Guatemalan side of the family! Such as things like my aunt traveled on foot from Guatemala to the U.S, my grandparents not actually meeting until they were in the U.S,and my aunt crossed the border illegally!
Yes, I am enjoying this experience very much. It is allowing me to learn things from my aunt and grandparents (on my Guatemalan side) that I never knew before. It is also allowing me to bond and learn things with my family, that I find very compelling!
My aunt’s foot journey to the U.S is very difficult and enlightening for me! It’s difficult because I never knew she crossed the United State’s border illegally.

Yes, it was an emotional journey for her because she left her parents and other close friends behind and travel to a country thousands of miles from home knowing she may never come return In “Song of the Buffalo Boy” by Sherry Garland, the author character’s Loi reminds me a lot of my aunt Fredrica. My aunt Fredrica was born in U.S a little before the civil rights movement. Most of her adulthood was spent during sergeration times. She was treated differently by everybody because of her skin color. In public, schools, her community, and etc. During the time she grew up, African-Americans had not received racial equality yet. During her entire childhood she wasn’t able to experience a diverse group of classmates and acquaintances. She had a very uniform group of friends. She shared stories with me about how white people treated her so differently just because of her skin color. She never understood why when she was going up, but it affected her a lot. It made a major impact on her. It brought her self-esteem and confidence down. My aunt Fredrica reminds a
