England and France guaranteed to help Poland yet Britain was too far away for their Air Force to help and France was excessively anxious, making it impossible to help on the grounds that they feared the Germans.

I would enter the doors of the school and sit down alongside my fellow Polish classmates. From preschool through the eleventh grade, I attended St. Constance School of Polish learning on Saturday mornings. My parents came to the U.S. from Poland in the late 1990s, and felt it necessary for my siblings and I to have a profound Polish education. Every week we would spend half of the class learning Polish language, grammar, and literature, while…

Also the culture was different. For example in my culture there is nothing such a thing as boyfriend…
