Michelle Agins Analysis

November 9th 2016 was a mournful day for the majority of the people that I know, including myself. I believe that Michelle Agins analysis may have been accurate only in alignment with the sample that she has chosen. When first listening to this article I was astonished at the fact that those who “persevere” as opposed to the “coddled” were less affected. Her article may have said one thing but the looks of my Facebook account, and the depressing look I watched in my morning commute to work said the complete opposite. To understand her conclusion I had to put myself in the position of an immigrant. Most immigrants that come here tend to excel more in school, and are more motivated to achieve because they are fleeing a harsher life or maybe even …show more content…
What’s disturbing to me to say the least is that the members of the Presidents Society, an organization that I would have joined if not for my working schedule (which many of them do not have) didn’t even desire to discuss the election. In my opinion that is the epitome of selfishness. Even if this election does not affect you personally, the amount of hate and disunity that has spread like wildfire in this country since the day Donald Trump has announced this election should awaken even the most ignorant of us.

Nine times out of ten the money used for those cashier’s checks came directly from a foreign wire. I point that out to note that A large population of these students who aim for these top schools are immigrants themselves. Their families send them here to obtain high education and make a better life. So I do see how the Ivy League students can be deemed as more affected, but I do wish the writer took a larger sample. I am deeply ashamed with the ideology of students being unnerved by something as gruesome as a Donald Trump election. Regardless of your political stance look at was his election has done to America so far. I will end my analysis with this a favorite quote of mine by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his indivulaistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity”. In response to Ms.Karac, a LaGuardia Alumni who quoted “If I become a good engineer, every country will want me”. What about everyone
