“I think there‟s a difference in how we teach history, because we‟re
thematic back home whereas here it‟s subject oriented… I think
that‟s generally all over the world that‟s how they‟re changing the
subject and so history is different…as people learn how people
learn, they‟re changing it. I think it‟s going to be different for
everybody, but ours is thematic back home, so a different reading
situation…”
“I love my education so, like, I love all of my classes this semester.
And I‟ve been telling my parents, „Oh, I love my academics way
better this semester than last semester‟ and I love, I like that fact
that I‟m starting to work at a museum „cuz that‟s what I was doing
back at home. I was volunteering and that kind of thing. I‟m getting
kind of back into what I did at home…” - Sarah
