I’m part of one of the biggest groups that conform this country, I am an immigrant, I came to this country 4 years ago, at 2011 from Peru, but I was born in Argentina, sorry if I have a lot of misspellings. The way those countries taught me their national history is very different from the way Dr. Klein is teaching us about US history, I’ve never been in college in one of those countries so I will talk about the way teachers from middle school and high school taught me about national history and what I feel they should teach. In other hand Dr. Klein use US history as a tool to teach us how to better address crisis and confrontation and I have examples from my mother and father to explain how they faced problems when I lived with them

I remember that one day when I went out from middle school and she carried me to her job, the kid that she used to take care of at that time was almost the same age than me but he kind of heated me I don’t really remember why but I wanted to be his friend and I talked to my mom about that and she had an idea, her idea was to make me do something that would make him feel that I’m by him side, that I only want to be his friend, so we waited to the right moment. One day he had to do a homework that he didn’t know how to do and he asked my mom to help him but she refused and told him that I could help him if he wanted to, but he didn’t wanted to ask me, so I asked him if he needed my help, that I wanted to help him, he said yes and we did his homework together. Since that day we became good friends and I still in touch with him. It makes me remember the fort Sumter crisis that Abraham Lincoln had to face he had to do something that make himself looks nice to the border states Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri. So he said that he was fighting not to abolish slavery but to keep the union. Another example is a memory of when I just came here to this country I didn’t know how to say a single word in English and was my first year in high school. A guy that was in my class of ESL always tried to bully me, make fun of me and make other people believe that I was a bad person, I don’t really know why he did that but I wanted to punch him really bad. I talked to my father about that and he told me that here in America doesn’t matter if he’s making fun of me if I am the one who throw the punch first I’ll always be the guilty for starting a fight. My father who is an open mind person told me that if I wanted to fight it would be okay but that I have to make him throw the first punch, that I have to persuade him to
