From watching Faces of America video, I learned that the decisions our ancestors made effects us greatly. If they decided not to come to the US our lives would be totally different. Some of us would not be where we are today. In the video, if their ancestors made a different decision they probably would not of had the opportunities to be successful as they are today.
We are a "nation of immigrants". That means that pretty much everyone who lives here is from a different country. It means that the cultures are very diverse. I do feel aware of my connection to my ancestors because I know that my grandparents came from Lebanon after they got married.
I enjoyed reading your blog and how you including families decision to come to the US changed everyone's lives. I never your grandparents were from Lebanon.
