As a child of immigrants, I always felt out of place.

I was born in the US, but I didn't learn English until Kindergarten. Once I did, I didn't sound like the other kids. And "alien" is the name that they gave us. 🛸

Since I didn't have many friends, art became my friend.

🛸 Why the UFO?
Let's start at the beginning. I'm a child of immigrants. Though I was born here, I didn't speak English until I started Kindergarten. And once I did, I definitely didn't sound like the other kids. I got treated like I was an alien. And that's what they called us.

Today I want to show you my graduation project: "A Life in Germany" is a book project on postmigrant stories. I interviewed immigrants of the first and subsequent generations about their lives in Germany, wrote down their experiences and illustrated them.

Did you know that today is World Day of Migrants & Refugees Day (September 26)? It's true! So let's try not to forget the hardships they've gone through. Because while today it's them, tomorrow it could be me and you. 😔

I'm not hispanic. But, majority English/Irish. Also, a lot of people may have Irish decent and not know in the US since to avoid discrimination a lot of Irish emigrants dropped O' in their names. Also, st. patties day was more for feasting before lent, not drinking as the US does
