Immigrants in our own land by Jimmy Santaigo is just amazing for me. I feel the were he's getting  from. To be honest I never understood poetry; I find it hard to get their points, but this poem was straight on .

Remember that time you ate that spicy salsa just before you went to bed on the night before the big date?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the horrific details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now. The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a dinner waiting to be sent to home.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Adam Hunter, looking like a crazy bull who could eat a whole Field. Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "imitation is suicide."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to bail.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy show and act and then you had make a phone to go back in time to the library so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the environment.

Well this year for thanksgiving was smaller then most years. Last year was a much bigger; we had to eat outside due to the crowd inside the house. I have to say it was a sight to see. Lots of family members came over and brought lots of delicious food. Its was truly great. This time it was just my famliy that was part of it. The feast was small, but good. We had a great time; got to comunitate better with each other. I am truly greatful for my famlity and friends. They have played an important role in my life. I am also greatful for the things I have it is not a lot, but I appreciate it.

How would I explain "self reliance" by Emerson  to a 10 year old child. Well I would tell him to himself and to believe in himself. Don't held back by his mind and go with is guts. We all have a special gift to enable us to do great things and one day they shall uncover this by trying out new things. To do what you can do and enjoy it.
