    At the tender age of 13 most american children are sat down by their parents and forced to listen to them awkwardly explain the mechanism of sex. A generally traumatic experience that most kids end up repressing to the far recesses of their mind. However this once in a lifetime event is typically an American experience and is not something most immigrant children are exposed to (they are more familiar of the general statements of “..not until after your married”, and the classic “ Did you go behind the palm trees”). In her novel “How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents”, Julie Alvarez narrates the difficulties the Garcia girls face growing up bicultural in the United States and the transitions they made as they strive to create an identity that is both Latina and American.

By the age of three and a half, José should already be potty-trained, while “some children show signs of readiness for toilet training between 18 and 24 months, some are not ready until 30 months” (Feldman, 2015, p. 162).

    I noticed this two years ago when I moved here with my family. We can define and recognize people from other countries, but still we try to communicate in the best possible way and to learn the meaning of special words when we are talking to them. Inside the United States, we have lots of different communities, such as American, Black, Hispanic, and others.
